This is a very good textbook on economics. It does what it promises. It teaches the basic concepts of economics without graphs or formulas. Sometimes it even says how the concept he is explaining is know in the standard literature. This book points out that efficiency isn't the only thing; it is an important thing, but priorities are different for different people and these different priorities are not necessarily better or worse. In short, a great required text (as it is at our department now, on my, my brother's and our teacher's strong recommendations) for beginning courses and anyone who thinks economists are personally offensive. As for me, I'm very happy to deal with ecampus. This rental textbook was in a great condition and the price was good. Thanks.

Summary
Finally! A book about economics that won’t put you to sleep.
In fact, you won’t be able to put this bestseller down. In our challenging economic climate, this perennial favorite of students and general readers is more than a good read, it’s a necessary investment—with a blessedly sure rate of return.
Demystifying buzzwords, laying bare the truths behind oft-quoted numbers, and answering the questions you were always too embarrassed to ask, the breezy Naked Economics gives readers the tools they need to engage with pleasure and confidence in the deeply relevant, not so dismal science.
This revised and updated edition adds commentary on hot topics, including the current economic crisis, globalization, the economics of information, the intersection of economics and politics, and the history—and future—of the Federal Reserve.
“Explains our global economy in a way that is (gasp!) actually entertaining.”—Book Magazine
