Book Reviews of Principles of Microeconomics
Book Review: Easy, very easy.
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me tell you my background: I'm a Electrical Engineer working on my PhD and wanted to broaden my horizon. I wanted to get into Business stuff which is totally new to me.
Let me tell you: This book is easy! Very easy to understand. If you are an undergrad or have no background whatsoever in the field of business you will understand Microeconomics after this book even if you are the dumbest kid on earth. You cannot simply not understand what he's talking about.
Everything is kept very simple and easy and he gives example which make a lot of sense.
Due to my background please take this review with a grain of salt since I have no background. That is I cannot really criticize the content since I don't know any better.
I also agree that it is sometimes too verbose kept. That is some things could certainly be explained on a few pages but I was fine with it since I didn't mind the extra time spent on reading stuff which I already understood.
However, I can not at all justify the price of (currently) ~$112. This is just way too much for a simple book. I spent $13 (shipped) on a used book and you should do so too.
Believe me: It has all the words and pages which you need for reading. :)
Summary:
This book is a great introduction if you have no clue about Econ and just want to start with it. I would really recommend it.
