How an Economy Grows and Why It Doesn't

Irwin A. Schiff’s How An Economy Grows and Why It Doesn’t uses a cartoon format to explain basic economic principles. The book, published in 1985, utilizes a simple allegory of an island society to illustrate concepts like savings, capital, investment, consumer credit, and government intervention. Schiff argues that government interference often hinders economic growth. The illustrations clearly present economic ideas in an engaging and easily understood manner.
