AP Lang Persuasive Essay

I believe this book can not only provide information just on the concept of economics, but can also provide insight in society's commonly misconstrued perspective of common sense. Based on multiple reviews I've read on this same novel, I am convinced that I will "pull more out" of this novel more so than countless other books I have read.
