Reader' Reviews

An excellent textbook, thorough and unbiased / / 2010-05-02
I love this textbook. It is easy to read, contains all the necessary fundamentals and includes a lot of illustrative material, which makes learning economics even easier. Although economics is always inextricably intertwined with politics, this book presents old and new economic theories in a balanced and unbiased fashion. I can't recommend this textbook highly enough.

Economic Book Deliver / / 2009-11-30
I ordered the Economic Book on the 29th of october and i think it took about 2 weeks to be receive by me, the sender was late sending the book. Because he/she was late sending the book, they sent the study guidebook along with the book to make up for sending the book late. I was notified by email. I would like to thank them for being honest and letting me know they were late;although, the study guide didn't help me, it still was very business like to send it anyways and that is really important. I would do business with them again!

Great / / 2009-10-14
Book came extremely fast. It is used but in good shape. I'm very happy with it.

Basic comprehensive, non mathematical. / / 2009-10-05
I acquired this book to refresh my 60 year old training in economics, because of contemporary commentators' sometimes casual use of such terms as "profit" and "marginal."

Well it is comprehensive, illustrates with data through 2005, discusses a number of modern terms, but, like the texts I studied years ago, it doesn't use evem the elementary calculus and algebra concepts that are taught in high school these days -- derivative, integral, max, min, slope, solving f(x)=g(x).
It could be an easier read if it used these ideas in addition to the graphic methods it does use well.
