Customer Reviews

Intelligent discussion of economics

Economics by Example is exactly the resource I was looking for to supplement the economics classes I teach...Each chapter is filled with documented facts that make any discussion meaningful...My favorite chapter, "What's behind the Music Industry Woes?" is a penetrating look at CD pricing...I am planning on using this book when I teach contemporary issues at the community college next semester...The discussion questions at the end of the chapters are excellent for reviewing the content of the chapter.
