This review is from: Congressional Quarterly's Desk Reference on the Economy: Over 600 Answers to Questions That Will Help You Understand News, Trends, and Issues (Desk Reference Series) (Paperback)

Carroll's Desk Reference on the Economy is comprehensive, issues oriented and balanced. These qualities make it great for getting up to speed for economic issues in the 2000 election. The sections on Social Security, Environment, Taxes and Presidential performance measures are especially strong. The Q&A format works well. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get more out of the news.
