3.0 out of 5 stars Be careful, the paperback version is a study guide, January 10, 2012

I had to quickly cancel the order. I saw the hardback at >$150 and the paperback at around $40, figured let's go for the paperback. What's not clear is that the "paperback version" is the study guide, not the book itself. Too misleading.

This book helps you understand the key concepts and includes many table charts. By reviewing and working the end of chapter exercises that should help you do well on the tests. The information in the book will help you understand why different countries have different GDP per capita. You will learn a lot by reviewing frequently and putting the time into this class.

Frankly, yes, it does not go out of its way to spell out certain details, but I think that it is the least confusing way to present information. I find that it complements my professor's lectures very well. I've had far worse econ texts: this one is straightforward and uses language that is easy to understand without oversimplifying or "talking down" to the reader.
