This book provides a straightforward overview of today's most pressing economic issues. From the Fed to minimum wage analysis, and everything in between, the author gives a very practical and applicable explanation to the impact of different fiscal policies and programs. I was very impressed at the unbiased economic analysis of Obamacare--the facts on their own show how this ill-conceived 'reform' will ultimately amplify the very problems it was meant to solve. This book is a great step towards actually educating students instead of indoctrinating with the same old political rhetoric.
I rented this book via kindle because I joined my class late and needed the book immediately. It was perfect, I got it instantly and it was as easy to use as it was convenient. I was very much a fan.That is until I had to get a new laptop with Windows 8. I downloaded the kindle app, expecting it to be as easy and convenient as usual, only every time I clicked to open it I got a popup saying this title was "not supported by Windows 8" or that something was wrong with the title and I needed to redownload it.So far I've tried downloaded multiple kindle apps for my new laptop. (Kindle PC, Kindle Cloud, etc.) and I've looked at the listing to see if redownloading it is possible. (It's not.) No luck thus far and I've been able to find exactly zero trouble shoots or FAQs that are able to help me.Now I'm out a book for my class (which I still have to pay the duration of the rental fee for) and I'm severely confused as to why the $*@! Windows 8 isn't compatible with a simple Kindle book.
Why is this ebook not available on the Kindle app for Touchpad ? It's available for iPad, Mac and PC. I spent $90 on it and is now useless.
Got it for school and it arrived on time with all the other books I ordered. Was worried about buying used, however it looks like new.
Such an oversimplification of economics. There are several points in the book in which the author gets super off topic and isn't even talking about related content and in addition the author used several unorthodox definitions to explain things such as replacing Cerberus Paribus with "simplifying assumption" these definitions and content will just confuse any novice econ student and make future academics in econ more difficult.
This book is exactly what I needed and it was ECONOMICALLY friendly, too! You just saved me a lot of money!
I had to get this book for my class and I can honestly say it wasn't too bad for a textbook.
Excellent - easy read - takes numerous approached to make message clear.
