Goodbye to the headache-inducing economy!
The best economics introduction book that kills two birds with one stone: fun and information!

"The economy is difficult?" The terminology is rigid and the concepts are complex, so even easy introductory economics books can be difficult to get past ten pages.
However, 『Cartoon Dictionary of Economic Common Sense』 is a book that even those who are not familiar with economics can read with a smile, as it easily explains difficult economic concepts and various current issues through cartoons.
From basic terms learned in school like 'opportunity cost', 'GDP', and 'inflation' to financial knowledge needed for investment and hot issues in the global economy, it uses the tool of comics to kindly explain the historical background and origins, making it easy for anyone to read and have fun.


The world's easiest economics comic, recognized by 500,000 readers!
Upgraded from economic fundamentals to the latest economic trends!

This book is a comic version of Gilbut Publishing's best-selling book, "Dictionary of Economic Common Sense," which has sold over 500,000 copies.
From basic economics to financial knowledge, exchange rates, and the global economy, the author has carefully selected the most essential content from the book, making it perfect for building a solid foundation in economics.
In particular, this revised edition has been upgraded with more substantial concepts and the latest issues.
Because the economy is a living organism that moves at every moment, new economic news and issues pour in every day.
We meticulously covered topics that frequently appear in recent economic news, such as the "lemon market" that was heated by large corporations entering the used car market, the "balloon effect" that comes up every time real estate regulations are introduced, "foundries" and "fabless" that are indispensable when talking about semiconductors, and the "giant step" of interest rate hikes.


A three-step structure that enhances association and learning effectiveness!
Essential economic terms + economists who show the history of the economy + self-diagnosis quiz

If you think that a cartoon will be shallow, you are mistaken.
You may have had the experience of reading something interesting, but then forgetting the content as soon as you closed the book.
To prepare for just such a situation, 『Cartoon Economic Common Sense Dictionary』 has prepared a three-part structure to help readers remember the contents of the book for a long time.

Step 1: In the “Catch the Essential Economic Terms” section, we have compiled economic terms that you might miss while reading comics.
You can study additional related terms not covered in the text.

In the second stage, “Economists You Should Know,” we carefully selected important economists who laid the foundation for the modern economy, such as Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes, and Milton Friedman, and organized their core theories.
Through the theories of economists, we can organize how economic history has changed from the past to the present.


Step 3: Finally, you can check whether you have properly understood the content through the “Economic Common Sense Quiz.”
Let's relearn economic concepts we've learned before while solving problems, and build confidence in economics by getting the correct answers!
