Economics in Wonderland: A Cartoon Guide to a Political World Gone Mad and Mean #[nn]

This collection adapts political economist Robert Reich's sharp critiques of modern American politics and economics into a graphic novel format, using sequential art to dissect issues like income inequality, corporate power, and the erosion of democratic norms. Originally serialized as a webcomic, the book pairs Reich's accessible, often humorous commentary with illustrations by various cartoonists to explain complex policy concepts and current events from the 2016 election era onward. It serves as both a primer on progressive economic thought and a satirical take on the absurdities of contemporary political discourse.
