4.0 out of 5 stars An essential book for anyone with an interest in Economics., 6 Oct 2001
By A Customer
I brought this grudgingly because I was ordered to by my Alevel Economics teacher, but I have found it an amazingly good read. Not only is it interesting and fairly easy to read but I think it is also essential for anyone studying Economics. As the title suggests it doesn't just go through the theory but it applies economics to real life situations which makes some abstract concepts, such as implicit and explicit costs (which I had never understood until now), a lot easier to grasp. Unlike other Economics books I have been forced to read by my teacher, it does not require reading four times before the information sinks in. I found myself enjoying reading the sections I read and even reading further on than I needed! All in all this book should be the main reference book for anyone who is studying or interested in Economics.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!, 21 April 2004
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This excellent, short, clear book should be part of everyone's referencelibrary, particularly those who wish to understand standard conservativeeconomic thought. The distinctions author Thomas Sowell draws betweenpolitical and economic logic should become a valuable part of each voter'smental apparatus. Writing to educate the general reader, not to furtherinstruct the sophisticated economist, the author advocates minimalgovernment interference. He calls for as little regulation as possible,mainly because regulations have unintended and usually undesirableeconomic consequences when seen with a long-range perspective. Sowell'sconcise, easy-to-read style cuts through the jargon of most economicdiscussions to lay bare the underlying, plain heartwood. It is easy toquibble here and there. Sowell doesn't offer lots of statistics andback-up material. And, he seems to argue against individual economicdecision making when he tilts a drug pricing discussion into a sermonagainst Americans buying medicine at low Canadian prices. However, we findthat his book stands on its merits nonetheless, as long as you understandthat the author has a political - as well as an economic - point of view.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for not too-mathematical economics courses, 7 Nov 2001
By A Customer
If you study an economics course that is more related to social sciences than maths, this is one of the best books for you.
It may look too big, but it is very useful
