if you want to learn more about economics, this book will do just that. however, i will never be picking up or looking at another econ book after this. the study of economics is not for me and im okay with that. i wish i knew this before taking an economics class and having to push myself through this book :)

Every second I have to read this god forsaken textbook for my econ class, I can feel my intelligence lowering. I don't know how professors of any field could have produced such low quality material. Are you seriously trying to convince people that capitalist economies are defined as an economic system in which individuals produce with no compulsion from the government, therefore no capitalist economies exist? Do monkeys and crabs all of a sudden engage in capitalism?????
