Basic Economics, Fifth Edition

A Common Sense Guide to the Economy

De: Thomas Sowell

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki

In this fifth edition of Basic Economics, Thomas Sowell revises and updates his popular book on commonsense economics, bringing the world into clearer focus through a basic understanding of the fundamental economic principles and how they explain our lives. Drawing on lively examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains basic economic principles for the general public in plain English.

Basic Economics, which has now been translated into six languages and has additional material online, remains true to its core principle: that the fundamental facts and principles of economics do not require jargon, graphs, or equations and can be learned in a relaxed and even enjoyable way.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Always Stunning from Sowell

Sowell's insights are always engaging, fascinating and we'll worth the listen. I'll always recommend Sowell to anyone, student or otherwise, looking for answers to why things are the way they are economically and beyond. This book is more dry than some of his other more conversational books, as it's meant to be more of a textbook, but it is entirely understandable and enjoyable for anyone at any level of knowledge.

Wow! Economics like you never knew....

This book is one of my all time favorite books. I literally listened to it 4 or 5 times. I just listened to it over and over in my car for a few week's. It easily explains how and why things happen in economies large and small. Great book, highly recommended!!

Thomas Sowell basic economics

wow this should be mandatory reading for everyone. it lays out the foundation of how our economy works. this is the kind of information that can make your world a better place

God bless Thomas Sowell!

Understandable economics that we can all digest! This book will give you the tools to look at the world in a more realistic way. Keep in mind society falls apart without a solid economy.

Should be required reading in all k-12 schools.

This book gives a no nonsense and simply understood education in economics spoken in plain English. Every student in school and every politician should be required to read this book. If everyone had a basic understanding of economics our society would be much better off than it is now.

Much Information About Factual Economic.

Much details about how economics works. I am glad I got this because I got fed up with people, news, media, and social groups talking about how the economy should work when after hearing this audio book I can gladly confirm, Many ignorant people do not understand that there is always a trade off to everything. It can get boring if you are not into learning and the voice for this book is calming but can get in the way at times. Highly recommend this book if you want to try to learn some of the many types of economics, pros, cons, cause and effect, and how some economic sayings can be misunderstood or plain out lies that the news will try to narrate at times.

Definitely need to read!

Very good book, this should be given to high school economics students to read and used as a teaching tool.

Informative

Like: Data, real-life examples, very informative, important information and points everyone should consider
Dislike: The narrator was a bit dry at times

Read this to understand economics and what’s happening

It’s a factual and empirical presentation of economics.
In other words it’s the opposite of what we get in public schools or in popular media.

Great

Great listen. I am required to type fifteen words to submit a review review review
