I frequently give away copies of Sowell's Basic Economics as gifts. It's a fantastic book.

Yes indeed Mr. Blair, that is a great book to read or give as a gift though many might not want to delve into it to deeply and thereby have all their preconceived notions tossed into the waste bit as I've found out...

BTW there is in a small manner of speaking an online verison of Dr. Sowell's book that has come in handy for me and its titled: Basic Economics - A Citizen’s guide to the Economy...

Its forty eight pages long...
