This book is being given an unearned bad name. I don't know for certain why, but I could speculate if I were feeling uncharitable. In truth, this book does a fine job of laying out this subject point-by-point, complete with formulas, examples, practice problems, and then EVEN MORE examples, just in case you missed the first ones, followed by actual homework problems. I was assigned to teach this course having never taken it myself, which means I was forced to teach myself the subject so that I could teach it to a class of 70 students. With only the book and no other personal instruction, I was able to learn the material and teach it well enough to feel very comfortable with the material and to get very good student reviews. This is a testament to the clarity and completeness of the book, rather than my own innate understanding of the material, which was extremely limited. If I had to name a criticism of this text, I would say it is too monochromatic. They need to throw in some more color to break up all the green. Also, I think this book is too expensive. I would have an easier time justifying using this book for my class if it were, say, $90, instead of $130+. Still, I like it at least as well as the other texts publishers keep sending me, and better than most. 4/5 stars for bland green look and high price.

This text is superb. It contains the basic principles of the economic analysis for its application in decision take process, with a conscientious and dynamic presentation of ever chapter, carefully designed with appropriate problems that permit to capture the real essence of the whole containment.

Much better than the 5th edition - problems are worked by hand, formula and Excel. Not for the faint of heart however - works fine with a class presentation and using the accompanying website which has detailed Powerpoints and examples for every chapter. In combination with the web site - it is an excellent, math intensive text. Covers lots of ground and examples are current - a failing in many other texts.
