This review is from: Dictionary of Economics, The Penguin: Sixth Edition (Dictionary, Penguin) (Mass Market Paperback)
I disagree with the reviewer. I think it is a good quick reference for simplie and complicated economics terms as well as well-known economists and the theories they are known for. I have an economics degree and find this useful to help trigger my memory about my economic studies. The guide is missing some US economic terms, but it is still a useful guide for the price.

Please, for the love of god, don't buy this...! Many terms and concepts key to field are simply absent, and the entries, when present, are so curt as to be practically useless. One could expect as much simply looking up the terms in a standard Webster's Dictionary. Trust me, spend the extra bucks and buy one of the alternatives. I'm looking into the MIT Press version myself . . . .
