Satisfied

The product was delivered in a timely manner and it was in the promised condition. The only problem is it is not the exact ISBN number I ordered. But I believe the only difference between the two books is added features, which I do not need. I am satisfied with this product.

Quintessential good introduction

I used this book as my first introduction to economics, and even many years after having read it I continue to use it as a source of reference to the most simple concepts of economics. It has the very best simple explanations of economic principles that I have ever seen. It is filled with interesting stories that bring these principles to the real world, showing a novice the potential power of these ideas. This is Economics 101 at its best.

full of the economic wisdom

I am teaching economics and have read the textbooks written by Stiglitz, Mankiw, Samuelson etc.,but I think this is the best.It not only explains the elements of economics in plain words,but also convey lots of incisive insights which we should keep in mind when we tackle economic problems. I found Baumol and Blinder very instructive as well as interesting.

Baumol and Blinder

Found the authors to not mince words - got to the point, concise, explained concepts visually and verbally. Excellent text for an undergrad beginning Econ class. Used it as an undergrad and continue to recommend. Updated version refines Micro theory, which was necessary.
