Reader reviews for Basic Economics 2nd Ed: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy, Revised and Expanded Edition

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.16 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.

4.16 / 5 (19 total reviews)

Readers describe it as an accessible, wide-ranging introduction to economics that helps non?experts parse economic news. Clear, eloquent explanations and, for the audiobook, strong narration drew praise; reviewers noted it’s mostly factual with occasional opinion. Criticisms centered on length, repetitiveness from too many examples, and a less readable final chapter on economic history.

From the publisher

This is the revised and enlarged edition of a new kind of introduction to economics for the general public-without graphs, statistics, or jargon. In addition to being updated, Basic Economics has also become more internationalized by including economic problems from more countries around the world, because the basic principles of economics are not confined by national borders. While most chapter titles remain the same, their contents have changed considerably, reflecting the experiences of many different peoples and cultures.
