I think you have a book co-authored with Anwar Shaikh entitled 'Measuring
the wealth of nations'. What kind of an audience is it written for, do
you have to have a good understanding of the language of economics and
the related mathematics in order to grasp what is being said..? I have
read some articles on Anwar Shaik's homepage, and I never am able to
follow the mathematics, which on the other hand seem really essential
for the point that is being made.

I don't expect it to be a popular science book of any kind, but I'm
just wondering whether it will just confuse a person who has some
understanding on economical matters but who clearly is a layperson.
