About this product

Product Information

In its fourth edition, Economics Explained continues its announced purpose--to explain that mysterious thing called economics--with a new urgency. It is announced in the first sentence of the introduction: "Just in case the reader-to-be hasn't noticed, disturbing things are going on in the American economy these days." This new edition is about these disturbing things: a trend toward inequality of incomes, the appearance of a new "globalized" capitalism, the "specter" of inflation. As before, Robert Heilbroner and Lester Thurow treat these problems in language that seeks to make clear their causes and treatments. In this straightforward, highly accessible reference, Heilbroner and Thurow -- two of America's most respected and articulate economists -- offer all the economics essential for becoming an effective investor, a savvy business decision maker, or simply an informed member of society.

Economics Explained
This book is a few years old, but don't let that steer you away from reading it (especially becausee it has a lot to do with history, which hasn't changed). I picked it up as an introduction to how the economy works and am very impressed at the way economics came alive for me. A lot of the explanations include historical stories and interesting information tid bits about parts of our economy today.

Good book to learn more about Economics
Great book for learning about economics in a 'middle porridge' kind of way - not too light, not too heavy, not too deep, not too shallow, etc.
