  - Humiliating way to teach Economics...It's just so sad to see an author teaching economics by promoting an absurd sense of superiority. In order to show American economy's features, this hill-billy professor denigrates other countries, cultures and hides statistics. In Chapter 2, there is a comparison between the US and the countries "The author" wants to show. The book has some humiliating pictures of "poor American houses" ignoring that we do live in the USA and know that these houses are not for the poor. At the same time, he show pictures of tribes in collapse societies ignoring that dozens of countries have also a strong middle class. I really hate this book and I believe this is only one of the reasons Americans, as a whole, grow up in an environment full of arrogance and ignorance about what our own reality is Rating:  - Just what I neededIt came in good time and in great condition. I recommend it with no reservations. Rating: - Author is good at explaining tough Economic principlesI'm new to Economics and have done very well in the class so far because the book does such a good job explaining complex economic principles. My Professor follows the book exactly. He even uses the slides provided by the publisher. The student section the publisher provides is awesome too. It has flashcards, practice tests, powerpoint slides, etc. Rating: - Pleasantly surprised.One doesn't often come across a textbook that is as well written as this. I was able to understand the material; it presented everything clearly. The language/voice used was engaging, humorous, and easy to understand. I wish more textbooks were like this one. I give it an A. Rating: - Outstanding TextbookThis is one of the clearest--and certainly the most interesting--college textbooks I've ever had! I'm an older student returning to school and had to take econ as a prerequisite for an MBA program. I wasn't looking forward to it--tried it once in college years ago and dropped it because both book and class were so boring! I love this class (online, so no professor even!) and look forward to doing the reading each week. My school uses a "customized" version with with only about 2/3 of the chapters, and I'm buying the entire book so I can read the rest of it. Highly recommended! |
