Buda Cristian ，

A nice history of economics and how certain concepts came to be out of necessity。

This book is basically a textbook with a lot of information on Macroeconomics。 They broke down big concepts and made them easy to understand。 I now have a firmer grip on what a capitalistic economy is all about and it even taught me about Marxism。 Especially with where we are at in American politics today this book helped teach me about why recessions happen and how government intervention can actually help the economy come back to equilibrium。 If you want to learn the basics of economics， this This book is basically a textbook with a lot of information on Macroeconomics。 They broke down big concepts and made them easy to understand。 I now have a firmer grip on what a capitalistic economy is all about and it even taught me about Marxism。 Especially with where we are at in American politics today this book helped teach me about why recessions happen and how government intervention can actually help the economy come back to equilibrium。 If you want to learn the basics of economics， this book is for you！ 。。。more

It was a slog to get through， to much information that was not needed like who came up with the economic idea and the day that person died。 But beside that it was useful and maybe one day I may say who idea it was is really useful in some way。

Simple， but that's its point。 Good digestible book， with some interesting articles to it though it isn't in depth but that's not what the purpose of the book is。 Good read for young people and casual economists。 Simple， but that's its point。 Good digestible book， with some interesting articles to it though it isn't in depth but that's not what the purpose of the book is。 Good read for young people and casual economists。 。。。more

This series is legendary。 I would prefer to read these and not Wikipedia to get a general overview of the field。 The reason is that the book is filled with beautiful algorithmic diagrams which helps you simply explain complicated ideas。 These ideas can be grasped with little to no effort and in a minimal time frame。 Certainly， you will not become an economist after reading this book alone， but you will get a general idea of the field and will be able to make some sense of this world。I always tho This series is legendary。 I would prefer to read these and not Wikipedia to get a general overview of the field。 The reason is that the book is filled with beautiful algorithmic diagrams which helps you simply explain complicated ideas。 These ideas can be grasped with little to no effort and in a minimal time frame。 Certainly， you will not become an economist after reading this book alone， but you will get a general idea of the field and will be able to make some sense of this world。I always thought that economics is a simple subject where we maintain an equilibrium between supply and demand but this book changed my view， as I learned that such equilibrium can exist only in ideal cases。 Another concept which blew my mind is that making your economy completely free might not be the best course for society。 Many such concepts are fun to read and will help you understand economics news。 。。。more

As I'd never taken an economics course in school， I always felt a little lacking in this area。 I was able to drill down and really learn the difference between the approaches of Keynes （more government involvement， to micro condense） and Friedman （free markets， to micro condense）， with some historical context to boot。 Also， I learned what 'the money supply' even is， and of course how politics and culture affect economics。 Lots of history of economics， which is fascinating， like how scientists tr As I'd never taken an economics course in school， I always felt a little lacking in this area。 I was able to drill down and really learn the difference between the approaches of Keynes （more government involvement， to micro condense） and Friedman （free markets， to micro condense）， with some historical context to boot。 Also， I learned what 'the money supply' even is， and of course how politics and culture affect economics。 Lots of history of economics， which is fascinating， like how scientists tried to quantify the economy of various European principalities and kingdoms way back when， and how they did it。 There was a bunch of stuff I won't remember， but the book was clearly written and well done， in my opinion。 I appreciated that the format is easy to skim and read， there was no dumbing down of the content。 。。。more

Mohammadreza Seifollahi ，

A good little introduction to economics。 The chronological structure is pretty much useful if you like to know the timing of each major economic milestone。

Becky F ，

I love these books！ I know a lot of people's critic is that these types of books give a really simple overview， but for me that's great！ That's what I am looking for！ In my opinion if you want to start learning about economics then I recommend this as a gateway。 I love these books！ I know a lot of people's critic is that these types of books give a really simple overview， but for me that's great！ That's what I am looking for！ In my opinion if you want to start learning about economics then I recommend this as a gateway。 。。。more

excellent economics primerreally interesting history of economic ideas and the major economists from Aristotle to Krugman。 i have never taken as many screenshots or highlighted so many passages。 the graphics in particular are a model of clarity。 Bravo Niall Kishtainy

Layth Salah ，

A great book that serves as a simple introduction to the world and history of economics。

Ray ，

I think this is a good overview of economic concepts。 It's like a more digestible textbook。 I've never taken an econ course so there are some concepts that I needed to read about further to understand but overall it does a good job of distilling main ideas。 I think this is a good overview of economic concepts。 It's like a more digestible textbook。 I've never taken an econ course so there are some concepts that I needed to read about further to understand but overall it does a good job of distilling main ideas。 。。。more

A Great Primer on Macroeconomics for BeginnersI highly recommend this book as a quick， lean-mean， primer to macroeconomic terms and relevant people in the field from both ends of the economic spectrum。

Davide Badini ，

Stupendo， bellissimo， chiarezza nello spiegare le basi dell economia

Costin Grigore ，

Economy is full of interesting concepts。 With this overview you will understand that there is no Truth or Law in this landscape just theories， models， interpretations， speculations that temporarily make sense just to be updated for two reasons:- previous incomplete understanding- better new games and strategies

Accidentally bought this book simply because of my dumbness。 I thought this was The Business Book， lol。 It turned out to be a very good book， though

Callum Hair ，

A great summary of the fundamental concepts of economics。 Definitely give this one a read。

joe ，

I enjoyed this book a lot。 It does a good job of explaining the most influential ideas in economic thought in a way that's relatively easy to understand。 I do wish I had come away from the book with a more solid grasp of where the consensus is now， especially with regard to things like theories of value; perhaps a conclusion or epilogue of some kind would have helped。 Still， I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about economics。 I enjoyed this book a lot。 It does a good job of explaining the most influential ideas in economic thought in a way that's relatively easy to understand。 I do wish I had come away from the book with a more solid grasp of where the consensus is now， especially with regard to things like theories of value; perhaps a conclusion or epilogue of some kind would have helped。 Still， I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about economics。 。。。more

SolidFrankly， these books are better physical， but got it on sale， really hard to beat that。 Despite this， its a solid read if you want a general read

Like the other 'introductory' books on economics that I've been trying to read， it's written on the wrong level for me。 I know too much for introductions， and not enough to understand the finance pages of "The Economist" magazine。。。。 I'm thinking I'll have to actually audit a few college courses to fill the gaps and deepen my understandings of the connections。 Like the other 'introductory' books on economics that I've been trying to read， it's written on the wrong level for me。 I know too much for introductions， and not enough to understand the finance pages of "The Economist" magazine。。。。 I'm thinking I'll have to actually audit a few college courses to fill the gaps and deepen my understandings of the connections。 。。。more

If one takes it as an overview （and not as in-depth book） it is really great。 It is like a sort of mini tertiary source for economic principles。 One could achieve the same collecting proper pages from wikipedia I guess， the difference is that the collection in the book is organic。 For further reading and learning one can use the pointers - concepts and names - to dig deeper in some topics。To have an overview and to appreciate/evaluate some ideas， I find it neat。Of course if one wants more than a If one takes it as an overview （and not as in-depth book） it is really great。 It is like a sort of mini tertiary source for economic principles。 One could achieve the same collecting proper pages from wikipedia I guess， the difference is that the collection in the book is organic。 For further reading and learning one can use the pointers - concepts and names - to dig deeper in some topics。To have an overview and to appreciate/evaluate some ideas， I find it neat。Of course if one wants more than an overview， this book is not helpful。 It always depends on the need that one has。Furthermore about the overview， one has to take the information "cum grano salis"， as many ideas may sound correct but they aren't when applied in reality or their model is too simplified。 。。。more
