How An Economy Grows and Why It Crashes by Peter D. Schiff and Andrew J. Schiff is a simple story that explains complex economics. The authors use an island, fish, and fishing nets to show how savings, investing, and trade create real wealth. It then shows how too much borrowing, government printing money, and bad regulations can crash that same economy. The book is illustrated and very easy to read, so you don't need any economics background to understand it. If you want to finally understand inflation, debt, and why economies collapse, this tale makes it all clear.
