Review:
Survey of Economics is written in an easy to understand manner that lends itself to undergraduate teaching.
I like this book very well. I have used it many times and every time I use it, I like it.
The author has admirably succeeded in producing a very student-friendly text, without condescendingâ€"a compact “bread-and-butter†text for beginning non-economics majors.
