Yes the author's diction is quite elaborate and easy to grasp. His choice of words were not so high class making the book suitable for a very wide audience of English speakers.

The language used was very simple. An average high-school student would understand it . And that's why I'll recommend it to young students.

Overall, the language used was rather accessible, which meant that at times there were only certain words that I had to google what they meant. However, it was a good learning experience.

The language used in this book was quite sophisticated, a person would have to have more than the basic knowledge to economics to fully grasp or understand all that this book has to offer.
