May 22, 2009: I Liked this book, but it wouldnt be something i would suggest to someone who knows nothing about economics. It jumos back and fourth which works out for me, just i know some students at my school who would get confused. It was readble just not my kind of avarage book.

A great intro that never talks down to the reader!by clfd

March 09, 2009: This tome is well-written, interesting, and quite relevant despite the earlier publishing date. It would be interesting to see an updated version considering the economic mess that we are currently experiencing. Economic choices & ideas are cogently disseminated,allowed to be explained, illustrated with good examples, and reviewed later on when needed. I would recommend this for anyone, maybe less so for an economist except as a guide to some breezy & interesting writing.
