Review # 1 was written on 2010-02-10 00:00:00 James Mayer Really just a 3 1/2 ... I appreciate the attempt to modernize this series with a relatively new edition (published in 1995). It had none of the outdated terms & prices that felt awkward in the other books. It was also markedly improved in terms of the writing ability displayed. As a personal aside, I loved reading about Cambridge and punting on the Cam. It brought back good memories. Sigh. Unfortunately, the book lacked the unabashed application of economic theories that made the earlier books special. The economic explanations in this book often felt unrelated to the story - like they were awkwardly added as an afterthought. At other times, theories were referenced but never fully explained. It doesn't seem like it would draw readers into economics as the earlier books did -- and that is the whole charm of this series.
