Learning to think like an economist
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
So much substance packed into this short space is admirable. All of the subjects brought up in this book go light years in helping the reader understand the economists side to the issues. Any student or citizen that reads this book even alone, will be leaps and bounds ahead of the average, indeed, even most elite intellectual voters.
Great for a textbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is by far the best textbook that I have had to read. The material is presented in real case studies so it reads more like a story than its more cut-and-dry counterparts.
great guide book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Best to read this one after Intro to Microeconomics or in a class where the instructor can set aside a little time to explain concepts like elasticity, dead weight loss, supply/demand curves and externalities. Really great examples of economic concepts that are applicable today. This would be a great book for a 12th grade class or to compliment a microeconomics text in college.
Great service!

A Fun, Excellent Exploration of Real-World Economics Issues
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is a great little book to use as a companion to a textbook in any intro to economics class. Accessible even to people with no econ background at all, it shows how the principles of economics can be useful to understand a variety of different issues. The readings are short and clear, and they cover real-world, current issues. I would also recommend this to any reader who wants to learn more about the practical applications of economics.
