Matthew Feeney at Reason magazine gave Economix a nice review, calling it “a surprisingly entertaining use of the graphic novel format for education in a sometimes tricky but always important field.”
This is especially gratifying because the folks at Reason (a libertarian bunch) tend to skew conservative, and Economix is pretty unabashedly liberal, so we have many points of disagreement (although I used Reason as a source in some cases, like how deregulation gave us today’s delicious, delicious beer). The fact that Feeney mentions my “surprising fairness” makes me think my efforts to separate facts from opinion–always a delicate thing–worked.
And seriously, how many books get good reviews both from the lefties at Truthdig and the libertarians at Reason?
