A Citizen's Guide to the Economy:
"Clear and concise.Among economists of the past thirty years, [Sowell] stands very proud indeed."Wall Street Journal
"Basic Economics is not only valuable for a general lay-person audience, it would also benefit lawyers, politicians, and, yes, economists, as well." Washington Times
Basic Economics has been written with the thought that learning economics should be not only a relaxed experience but also an enjoyable one.
This is the revised and expanded edition of a new kind of introduction to economics for the general public without graphs, statistics, or jargon. However, the enlargement of this edition is not just more of the same. In addition to being updated, Basic Economics has also become more international, with the inclusion of economic problems from more countries around the world because the basic principles of economics are not confined by national borders.
Each chapter reflects the experiences of many different peoples and cultures.
