Summary: Great for a textbook
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great guide book
Comment: 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.

Summary: Economics for Graph-o-Phobics
Comment: I used this book with a class of gifted high school seniors. It's absolutely perfect when you want to THINK like an economist, but not graph like one or plug into equations like one. Chapters cover very current and intersting issues, guaranteed to appeal to high school and college students and to stimulate discussion. Highly recommended.

Summary: Ships well, decent book
Comment: Ships well. For a college class assignment, it wasn't bad. It just gives examples of economic problems and has end of section questions that require thinking (more of an opinion answer really). I wouldn't just read it for pleasure, but it's not bad for an econ book.
