Economics Explained Bewertungen

The Boston Globe An excellent course in the history of capitalism and socialism, of growth, progress, and decline.
Ms. At last, a patient but not condescending, detailed but not recondite, conversational but not glib discussion of the factors and terms that any reader of the daily newspaper needs to understand.
Robert B. Reich, former Secretary of Labor and author of Locked in the Cabinet In this delightfully written primer, Heilbroner and Thurow sweep away the debris of economic theory to expose the political and social choices lying just below it.
