"How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes" by Peter and Andrew Schiff is my recommendation if you are looking for something to read to kids. The book has some fun looking illustrations and it is easy to follow as it introduces some basic economic principles to young growing minds. Published in 2010...

Just finished all Ayn Rand’s 3 novels. All were excellent but “Atlas Shrugged” was the best “The Future is Faster than you think” was excellent. And something a bit different, “The Biology of Belief”

Broken Money by Lyn Alden

What eventually got round to Atlas Shrugged and it was as good as I hoped. Could have done with some editing down but honestly I was staggered at times. Written in 1957

Moby - Porcelain is amazing. Biography of the city of NY as much as anything. Few aspects a bit frustrating. A bit preachy. But all in all a solid read. Would recommend.
