A really great introduction to the history of the western economy on any number of levels, Economix is also just a really great example of how to write good graphic nonfiction IMHO as well. One of the only real drawbacks was the fact that it was so extremely western centric.

Otherwise, Goodwin does a really great job of making his biases pretty clear so the reader can largely draw their own conclusions. I really appreciated, for instance, that the author is also visually represented as the narrator. I also liked how he drew a distinction between when he summarised what people said and when the dialog was a direct quote. On top of that Goodwin also resisted the urge to really call anyone much of an idiot, and his representation of most persons and businesses was focused more on discussing who truly benefits from different policies and laws rather than saying people who may agree with him are smart and people who disagree are dumb. That said, I'm pretty well totally on board for this one so I'm not the target of any potential judgement here.
