Thank you very much for heplping me to find something to help my daugther with her troubles in her College subject, Economy.

This was a nice introduction to economics. Well written and immediately useful.

My only complaint was with the graphs, which were almost completely incomprehensible. This is mainly due to the 'Dummies' style of printing only in black and white. Other texts would usually use different colours to represent different lines. This may seem like nitpicking, but there is such heavy reliance on graphs in this text that if you can't understand the graph, then you are only getting half the explanation.

The book is very good for people who wants to learn about economics. However, it has no chapter review test to test the understanding of the reader.

I am currently studying for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam level 1 and I used the Economics for Dummies as an alternative to the 500 page manual provided by the CFA institute. I have to say this book is amazing in how it brings home all the concepts that are covered in this huge book. I have not passed the exam yet but my score on the practice exams when it comes to economics are way up! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a good grasp of economics in general. You will feel less of a dummy after reading this book!

Although some of the economists who reviewed this book may have put some doubts into the minds of curious readers aching for an enlightening and reader friendly book on economics, I must share my insights on this book. Yes, it may fall short of anything that is taught in an economics class, but this is after all a book with a "For Dummies" in its title! Anyone who has typed a "...For Dummies" book has had the thirst to learn and the matching humility to gain some basic understanding of a concept. This book surely helped me. It is a condensed and pragmatic approach to a seemingly complex subject, i.e. economics. It learned more from this book than from my other economics classes in college!
