Great textbook that grasps and simplifies major economic concepts. The language used is digestible for it's target audience, us, teenagers and the usage of technical terms are mostly defined. Furthermore, retention is cultivated throughout the book through repetition of the premises of each chapters/lessons. Though, with there were a bit of misprint errors in textbook, with repetition of paragraphs or graphics in the next page and in an error in the usage of a technical term which confused me at that moment.

For somebody whose curiosity recently brought me to the field of Economics, this textbook was the path the pioneered my journey. I'm completely sure once I get to more technically intricate textbooks, I would be able to have a basic idea on some concepts covered due to my prior knowledge from this book.

Overall, such a great and densely informative textbook. On a more personal side-note, I absolutely love how one of the characters in the narrative introduction and ending of the textbook has the same name as I. Continue to further promote Economics to today's youth, EmpowerEcon! I'll continue to support your organization through further research.
