5.0 out of 5 stars Great book as a supplement or a refresher!, July 31, 2002

By	"lamarguy91" (Texas, US) - See all my reviews

Having already obtained a B.S. in Economics, I was looking for a book to have a refresher before I start my masters degree. Boy did I ever pick the right book! This book is fantastic. It is easy to read, is very insightful, and has great question and answer sessions as you go through the chapters. It even has an entire chapter (ch. 2) on what most people find to be the most difficult part of economics, the graphs. It covers Macro, Micro, and even stems out into taxes and government, spilling over a bit into finance even. This is a great book and I would reccomend it for anyone who needs a good refresher or just some additional help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good economics primer, January 5, 2002

By	J. Turner (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This book, like the others I have read from the Business Review Series is top notch. It covers the topics presented in college level economics courses. It covers macroeconomics and microeconomics theories. Easily, this is one of the more readable texts on an otherwise dry subject.

The book targets both students and professionals who want to get a deeper understanding of economics. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful prep for an MBA program, and study guide for CLEPs, September 17, 2003

By	Michael T. Cox (Durham, NC United States) - See all my reviews

Your Business Review series is excellent. While this series was not designed for CLEPs or any of the other standardized examinations universities use to test accomplished areas of knowledge, I have found the entire series crucial for just that. Particularly as I am entering an MBA program. These volumes were precisely what I needed, and I have been telling everyone with even slight interest in these topics about them. Specifically, I am referring to the following books of the series (by title): Accounting, Economics, Finance, (Business) Statistics, Management, and Marketing.
