Customer Reviews

Beautifully written, an utter rarity
I bought this to replace my CIMA set text which was just too dull to get through.

By contrast, I really enjoyed 'Foundations of Economics'. Flowingly and elegantly written, full of interest, and incredibly accessible, I recommend it thoroughly as an introduction to the subject, especially if you're struggling with a dry, heavy or bad foundation text. Oh, and the end-of-chapter multiple-choice questions on the book's website rock!
