Economics For Dummies by For Dummies

Easy, clear, not too detailed

Very well-written and clear introduction to economics for people who don't know anything in that subject. I would swap microeconomics and macroeconomics chapters; would also prefer significantly more real-world examples. Would be nice to have a couple chapters for people who know enough math and wish a bit deeper understanding.

Good read

I'm a fan of the For Dummies series, and this one does not disappoint. Economics is a dry theoretical and abstract topic, which the author manages to parlay through the use of simple everyday examples and anecdotes.

Worth buying.

A good fundamental book...

Hello:

Economics for Dummies is a good book giving the basic fundamentals and principles of modern economic theory. I bought it to refresh my memory of what I learned in school and the book did it's job. I'd recommend it for those who are thinking about majoring in the field in college.

Very well written

I was looking for a book to refresh my basic understanding of macro- and microeconomics for a certification exam I am preparing for. This book was great. It is very well written and the author knows how to explain these concepts so that they are easily understood.

I actually found it hard to put the book down while reading some parts of it. While I won't call the whole book a page-turner, it was an informative and enjoyable read.

  • How the government fights recessions and unemployment using monetary and fiscal policy
  • How and why international trade is good for you even if you don’t appreciate French champagne, Irish crystal, or Swiss watches
