The book was in perfect condition when I recieved it, no folded pages, the cover was in excellent condition, and it was shipped to me extremely quickly.
Microeconomics

This book, despite all its charts, diagrams and those algebra/calculus-looking formulas, which apparently is what economics supply/demand is all about, was easy to read, broken up well, and kept my interest despite this being for a class that was a necessity for my degree program. It was clear and you could apply what you learn from it in basic/general terms and concepts, or really get into tne nitty-gritty technicalities of the economic system if that's your thing!
Good Introduction
12/22/2007
This is one of the better books I have seen in economics. It is an excellent introduction to the field. It is comprehensive with very useful case studies from the real world.
If I want to break the review down to the two main parts of the book, I would give 4.5 stars to the micro part and 3 stars to the macro part. However, I am not aware of any good book on macroeconomics. I think most authors (or maybe all of them) just don't have a deep understanding of macroeconomics. Albert Einstein once said "if you can't explain an idea to a 6-year-old, then you don't understand that idea."
So, given the lack of better books, I would recommend this one as your starting point in economics.
Not my best pick for an Economics book but it was required
2/28/2008
Economics is a necessary part of business and for people to just plain understand how money and supply and demand work.Whoever said Economics was fun is plain wrong. While this was required reading for college I did find the information difficult to understand, but I am no economics major either.
