Review # 1 was written on 2018-12-25 00:00:00 Justin Williams Obviously written by people who shouldn't be teaching economics in a book. My personal favorite (and I'm being sarcastic) was when the authors would take three paragraphs explaining how and why something is done only so I could spend two hours trying to figure out how to do the accompanying homework problem... only to look it up on Google and discover there was a simple formula that's never mentioned in the book. For example, the tax multiplier. All they had to say was that it's always negative and it's always one less than your regular multiplier. Yeah, never mentioned in the book. But there IS a pretty graph of it! I did well in the class, but not without putting a ton of work into figuring most of this stuff out on my own, and not without annoying my professor with more questions than should have been necessary!

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-27 00:00:00 Brett Byers Very insightful textbook on Economics which explains everything clear enough, so that even a complete beginner in the subject would be able to grasp all the concepts very quickly. Sometimes it lacks a deeper mathematical background on the problems described, though. But I should not judge the book very strictly for that because, as I mentioned, the main segment of this textbook is beginners rather than people with advanced math skills. Even despite the fact that I am an Economics major and I know the subject better than the book can offer, I decided to spend my time on it and I have no regrets about doing that. The only regret is that I didn't study economics from such high-quality American textbooks from the beginning. Maybe this could accelerate my studying process even more.
