I really liked this but it wasn't quite what I expected. Its a very brief version... its more like the Clift notes or something just a very condensed version of the topics. Great if that's what you need but not so good for a more in-depth study...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to the Topic, September 3, 2009

I enjoyed this series. However this subject to way too large to cover in three CDs. They could have extended to six CDs and still only scratched the surface.

If you really want to learn the basics of economics, this set should only be used as a suppliment to a good text. It's like attending a short lecture series. You have to pay attention, and will probably need to listen to the set 2~3 times before you get everything out of it.

Great study material, a must read that should be taught in high school. The "Wealth of Nations" is a difficult read and these Audio CD's are priceless.
Buy this if you support free trade, less government, and the American dream. Beware, this books represents everything a liberal opposes, ideals which are deeply hated by those who support liberal gods like Barak Hussein Obama and Miss H. Rodham.
