Very enlightening book for a real economic dummy December 6, 2008
This book has taught me a lot about economics. I was a true economic dummy before reading it, but I now have a solid grasp on the basics of economics.br /br /Anyhow, the book covers a lot of different economic subjects, such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, property rights, interest rates, supply and demand, the Federal Reserve, and much more. Each chapter goes into adequate depth of the material being covered. The book is written in layman's terms so that it is easy digested and understood.br /br /I definitely recommend buying this book. I learned a lot from it.br /br /The only reason I did not give the book five stars is because the author occasionally likes to portray his biased opinions as fact. It is a slight tarnish on an outstanding book.

Economics for Dummies November 17, 2008
I thgought this was a very informative book. For such a tough subject matter, the author kept you interested. This book teaches you the nuts bolts of economics so you can now form your own opinion. Word of caution....have a fresh mind when going over graphs charts....you need to understand these !

superior primer July 16, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This is the best primer on basic economics I've ever read. Masaki writes with tremendous clarity. As promised, every concept covered--always clearly and with admirable thoroughness--is accompanied by relevant, illuminating real-life examples. The book is a treasure for anyone wanting to discover the world of economics.

Great book..very easy to understand July 5, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Economics can be a very complex subject, but this book does a great job of breaking it down into very easy to understand language. The author starts by explaining the basics of economics, both macro and micro, and then gives real world examples that allow you to understand what he just explained. Every person who has a job or has investments should know something about basic economics and this book will make that very easy. Who knows you might even be able to see trends coming before they hit and be able to make proper ajustments in your finances to protect yourself and your family.
