As an econ major and teacher of economics this book was the one I wished I had in Micro and macro. Clear, concise, interesting and well-organized, this book is perfect for the aspiring AP Econ student as well as the Micro/macro intro class.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY helpful book..., December 31, 2004
By 
Fred King "We3Kings" (Exmouth, W.A., Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are looking for a book that is broken down into plain English, is very readable, and is organized in a logical way...you've found it! For someone taking a basic level economics course, I can't recommend a better book. Everything is explained in language that is easy to read and understand. The text is organized in a logical, flowing manner, to include side notes and other helpful bits of information. Also, this book relates the information it is presenting to "real life", making it easier to visualize how economics affects our daily lives. I HIGHLY recommend this book!
