Economics

I used an earlier version of this textbook in an Economics 201 class twenty years ago and couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it. The authors have a real sense of humor and can explain things in ways a layman can understand. I bought a copy of the text then, gave it to a family member who needed it, and have been seeking to replace it ever since.

Some books have too much needless pages just only to get thicker book, but this has no fluffy at all. 600+ pages simply stickt business and no repetition of self-evident things.

As I pursue my doctorate in mathematics education and look back over the textbooks I've read over many years of schooling, I'd have to say that Samuelson's Economics--required reading years ago when I took Freshman microecomics--has had the strongest long-term influence on my world view. Concepts like:-the way competition works to make an efficient but not necessarily equitable economy,-positive and negative externalities (i.e., the inefficiency caused when I benefit but you pay) have been critical in helping me understand the currents behind modern political and economic debates.You need some comfort with mathematics (algebra and graphing) in order to get the most benefit from this book--but certainly anyone who did well in Algebra 1 has a sufficient background.I'd recommend this book strongly for anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of human affairs and society.

The reviews and the table of contents shown about this book in your site do not seem to correspond to D.Begg's,etal "Economics" but to another book with a similar content.
