Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science is a book by Charles Wheelan that seeks to translate basic economic issues into a format that can be easily read by people with little or no previous knowledge of economics. The Chicago Tribune described the book as "Translat[ing] the arcane and often inscrutable jargon of the professional economist into language accessible to the inquiring but frustrated layman."[1]

It was translated into Arabic in 2008, and published under the same title: الاقتصاد عاريا by Kalemat Arabia for Translation and Publishing, an Egyptian publishing house.

There is now a fully revised and updated version of this book with a Foreword by Burton G. Malkeil, published in 2010
