[Jennifer Vambell · Rating 1 out of 5]

Pretty terrible book, especially how Pearson's e-reader formats it. It's also has some of the worst morals I've ever seen. It asks, "What if Scrooge never changed?" in A Christmas Carol. Spoiler: better for the economy no matter if Tiny Tim dies terribly and Scrooge remains miserable and unloved. It's pretty propagandistic about capitalism and entrepreneurs. In short it's a petty, biased book whose message is, "The poor should die so the economy can be better off".

Boring and complicated for the non-economic person.

[Jon Webber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice coverage, especially of monetary and fiscal policies. Little light covering inflation unemployment and just one chapter. I still recommend it.

Actually reading the 4th ed. Find the info presented in a clear, well illustrated fashion. informative graphs supplant the text well.

I didn't enjoy it because I find the subject matter boring. It is probably a great book if you are interested in the subject. I had to read it for a class requirement for a business degree.
