About this title

Review:

Consumer Economics: The Consumer in Our Society is a big-picture book providing background that readers need to make important economic decisions in their daily lives. But it also goes beyond the big picture to deal with the essential particulars of these decisions . . . the nitty gritty. It does this with full attention to substance as well as style. --Monroe Friedman, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Eastern Michigan University
