#BookReview for "Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life" by the team behind #NPR 's #PlanetMoney podcast.

Common economic concepts (cost disease, compound interest, cartels and more) presented in a lively way.
The book is clearly made for print first and audio second. It lacks the conversational back-and-forth of the podcast. The first chapter in particular is jarring - presumably made of many small tidbits of information presented in a visually interesting way, but lacking smooth transitions in an audio medium.
Still, the team does a good job of keeping the discussion lively, using real world examples and a light tone as they make the concepts approachable for a wide audience.
