I am close to finishing the audio version which has kept me company through hours of walking around Champs de Mars. A very exciting book with lively commentary on the lives of the economists and wonderful stage asides – it should be required reading for every college student. Very entertaining; its wonderfully motivating in getting you to debate and argue – and of course you are free to make your own mind, this is one book which makes you want to read more into the topics.

Prof Skousen should also issue a CD of the music selections for each chapter.

The audio book is wonderfully read but its also worth having a printed copy with the references.
