Reviews

[Ian Martens · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good if you are new to economics or want to learn the basics. Does a great job of explaining supply and demand etc etc. Was very basic for awhile so didn’t learn a lot of new things, but it is good to reread the basics and remember the economic fundamentals. Not partisan, just facts and reality of life, which in econ of course is partisan.

Easy to understand concepts of the macroeconomic we live in. I understood why certain things were being done in a logical thought process

[Tomas Nilsson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great refresher and good reference. Short and sweet stories on different economic issues. I would not say that the book “cause” me to be a better economist, however I like the discussions and applications.

[Jacob Martin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent read if you've forgotten everything from your college Macro/Micro classes and need a refresher.

[Fady Barsoum · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very basic introduction to modern economy. Good for middle school students or light readers.
