Customer Reviews

This was a fairly good textbook.

The basics are all there, but the book gets heavily into the equations of economics, which can leave you feeling a bit overwhelmed. This is a good starter book for those interested in pursuing a career in economics.

Wonderful Textbook

The author really breaks down the basic concepts and principals of economics so that it is easy to follow. In addition to being able to effectively explain and convey concepts the author is very humorous and witty and the book does not read like so many boring textbooks. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn the basics of economics.

Good Study Guide of CLEP Test

I bought this book to study of the CLEP exam. I have never had an economics class nor did I read any other study guides and I passed with a 74 out of 80 (you only need 50 points to pass). So I would say this taught me the fundamentals of economics. It was very dry at first, but then it got better as I started understanding the material better. The last chapter review questions were funny.Some people overated it a bit, but it really is a good book. Not an extremely easy book, but very understandable.

laughing my way through microeconomics

I would have never believed I would be laughing while learning microeconmics, but I did with this book. It is written with humor to help you grasp the subject. I am taking classes for my MBA and never had an economics class, but finished with a grade of 96 with the help of this book. I would seriously recommend this book to anyone studying microeconomics.

Certainly one of the most user-friendly aides available

Microeconomics: The Easy Way is undoubtedly one of the greatest study aides available in any discipline. Its direct, uncomplicated, yet complete presentation of introductory Microeconomic principles provides anyone interested in learning the subject with all they need. Using this book, and this book alone, I was able to successfully acquire the Microeconomic skills necessary to score a 5 on the College Board's Advanced Placement Exam in Microeconomics, demonstrating both a complete presentation of college level material and a user-friendliness that makes the book appropriate for anyone interested in learning the subject. By emphasizing the vital concepts throughout each chapter, Microeconomics: The Easy Way guarantees that the reader will come away with a basic, if not incredibly thorough, understanding of economics. Furthermore, the review questions presented at the end of each chapter help ensure the retention of key concepts and provide an opportunity to apply newly-! acquired skills. Truly a must-have for anyone interested in learning the subject. Easy to use, complete, and direct...I truly hope Professor Wessels writes a Macroeconomic counterpart!!!
