Economics: A contemporary introduction 7/e

I recently received the book in great condition. I purchased it for a an unbeatable price compared to the bookstore at the school that I attend. There was a minor issue with the shipping time but it was 100% due to my local post office. During that lapse in time, the seller and I maintained constant communication and I must say, the communication was seemless. This is a great seller, I highly recommend anyone in need of a product or a service from this seller to simply go right ahead and do so.

Pleased and satisfied

I was very pleased with the product. Was in good shape and shipped in a timely manner. Overall, satisfied with the transaction.

A Comprehensive Introduction

A must buy for the personal library of any future economics major. While most economics textbooks are dubbed as "dry" and "incomprehensible," this text fully acquaints the reader with fundamental economic principles in English that is clear and simple to understand, all the while maintaining the importance of the concepts. Despite the fact that McEachern does not explore (in any depth) the complex mathematical facet of economics, he covers well the basic theories of supply and demand, the market system, and the fundamental principles of both micro and macro economics. The graphs and other visual displays are clear and can be followed by anyone with a firm background in basic algebra. Even though some very important concepts are simply "grazed" at the mere tip of the iceberg, this nonetheless functions relatively well with the book's overall intent to provide the reader with a firm knowledge of basic concepts. While this particular text wouldn't be used in the curriculum for an advanced seminar in economics, it would perform well as the "lay terms" manual for students that can't make heads or tails of the algorithms and complex functions and language of their college text. All in all, McEachern's ECONOMICS: A CONTEMPORARY INTRODUCTION is a must-have for any and all future business, political science, and certainly economics majors.
