Following on the success of Logicomix, which told an engaging tale of how the late nineteenth and early twentieth century developments in logic and philosophy and their growing relation to mathematics led to the discovery and implementation of machine language by Alan Turing and others, the similarly titled Economix has a larger mandate relative to its field:  it aims to give readers a basic understanding of the entire field of economics and so covers the developments in the field from its inception in the fog shrouded past all the way up to the present day world of globalization, financial derivatives and financial crises, all through that magic mix of words and pictures known as comics (or, perhaps, given the title – "comix")!  This volume goes some way to providing further evidence that when it comes to learning, comix is the medium that takes out the tedium!  So, whether it's you that's interested in learning more about the dismal science, or you're hoping to inculcate its arcana in an unsuspecting family member, Economixis your ticket.
