A MUST read book for newbies

This is an introductory textbook and to be considered as a first book in economics. It starts at an elementary stage with full explanations of all major points of standard economic theory. The point-by-point summary at the end of each chapter reinforces the reader on the concept learnt. The captions and notes below each diagram are full and self-sufficient. It's better to have the study guide along side for more practice on economic thoughts into daily life.

The best book for a beginner

In this book (the twelfth edition) every economic subject is very well explained without difficult mathemayical concepts. People who like the mathematical approach can find something in the appendix. There are a lot of examples about real facts happened to real companies (Microsoft,...) or organization (OPEC...). The logic approach and the examples are very usefull for a beginner that first of all has to understand the main concepts rather than struggling in a difficult language or math.

A very beautiful book.

The authors have explained all principles with remarkable ease taking numerous to the point examples.
