Review:

"Among the features I like very much in the Mastrianna [text] are the graphs: they are clear, precise and accurate, in one word, great!"

"I found the coverage to be complete, presentation of material to be straightforward and appropriate for this level course. There are a number of interesting, topical applications of the economic principles and theories that add interest to the material and demonstrate to students the application potential. I particularly enjoyed the incorporation of international events and policies."

"The book covers all of the basic information that a survey book should cover. I like the writing style and the general flow of material. It is easy to read and has sufficient coverage of the material."
