[Michelle Rowley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although some of the content is dry, the book is formatted to read quickly and identify the important parts of each basic principle as it applies to the average individual.

[Austin Cai · Rating 2 out of 5]

Good overview of economic terms, and generally well written. However, book structured around listing and defining vocabulary can only be so interesting...

[Ernest · Rating 3 out of 5]

Published in 2014. Gives a concise overview of the major concepts of macroeconomics and microeconomics. It provides the knowledge for deeper understanding of economic issues that are presented in the media. The book is a very good source for a high school class or person who has limited exposure to the concepts of economics.
