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.

This book is very famed in China.The reader of the book is not college student but postgraduate.The publisher in China have translated and published the textbook for above 4 times, The lasted one in 16th edition.i am a editor.who can help me that i want to know the top 10 or 20 business textbook in the world? it's including [email protected]

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.

Simply the best introductory economics book
