Separate yourself from the "Average".

This author did an excellent job giving an easily understood introduction to anyone wanting curious about economics. This book feels like a "pre-course" because it doesn't get to I depth but more less open give you an understanding of what economics is and something everyone should know. I am looking to go back to school soon and know that economics will be one of my classes. I feel a little more prepared and less intimidated reading this book.

Teach yourself and generations to come!

This is a great book if you are interested in economics. This book begins with a look at what exactly the study of economics is. The chapters are well organized and is written well enough for anyone to get a solid understanding of the basic economic concepts. The author does spend some time looking at the Federal Reserve, something that most people do not understand. I was happy to learn more about this topic. The final chapter is about the future of economics, which is an evolving science. If you are looking for a book to prepare yourself for an economics class or need a refresher of your economics knowledge, this book is for you.
