From what I remember (I I got it ’cause I was looking for a good broad intro to economics, but stopped reading it), I found it a bit too dumbed-down (too much “don’t worry I’m not going to scare you with maths) and too focused on hot-button political issues. I didn’t get the impression I was learning much, I may give it another stab tho.
I would think that “don’t worry I’m not going to scare you with maths” is what you’d want from a basic popular introduction to economics. It’s good at teaching the intuitions, IMO.
