After 5 chapters, I am trying very hard to remain interested, but the text remains extremely boring and lengthy. Its concepts like Income Effect and Marginal Revenue Product of Labor are obvious. However, the text uses too much wording to describe these simple ideas. Chapter 3 with a few concepts requires over 60 pages. It repeats this inefficiency to describe simple graphs like a budget constraint slope and an indifference curve. And for such a relevant subject, the book hardly relates labor economics to the average person. Sure, it provides examples like federal work programs, but when you read it, you don't get a sense of how the labor markets really operate and how real people actually make decisions on work. The tone of the book is also very dry unlike a conversation because everything is all theory, theory, theory with no relevant examples.
The title really says all I have to say. This book is written entirely from a neoclassical perspective, totally devoid of any real world content. Its tediously fixated on market supply and demand, marginal productivity theory, diminishing returns and other fascinations from this school of economics. I didn't get anything useful from it (not that I expected to do so).
The product was delivered within the estimated time period and was in excellent condition. I would recommend to anyone.
Subsequent edition cost about $150. Found this previous edition on the marketplace for $8 shipped. Very little markings and the book had only minor wear. Accurate description, thanks guys.
I received my purchase in a timely manner and product was as described. I would recommend to other users.
