Economics: The User's Guide - Softcover

"The dismal science rendered undismally, even spryly . . . lively, intelligent, and readily accessible." --Kirkus Reviews

"This excellent economics primer is written 'in plain terms' for a college-educated reader; it follows efforts by some academics to seek a readership market beyond the classroom." --Booklist

"A practical guide that shows the importance of the subject as a worldview and how it fits into everyday life." --Library Journal

"This book should be the poster child for the word 'tweener.' Not quite an introductory text (although that is the category into which the author places it), the book is 'a mile wide and an inch deep' and includes 'everything but the kitchen sink' in terms of level of detail and scope of coverage [ . . . ] an interesting, entertaining, and worthwhile contribution that offers a picture of the global economy and how and why it affects daily life. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers." --A. R. Sanderson, University of Chicago CHOICE
