5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 15 Jun 2008
By A. Crabtree (London, GB) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Economics (Hardcover)
I used the 10th edition for A level and am assuming the 11th is as good or better.

This is an absolutely excellent text book. It is perfect for A level and I'd think for first year degree.

It is very good for understanding the fundamental concepts and is also well written and engaging, with lots of interesting real-world examples, and very prettily presented so pleasant to work from.

Beardshaw/Brewster/Cormack/Ross "Economics - A Student's Guide" is also good but is better for information and not so good for concept.

Both these books are at the advanced end of things for A level - it's worth having a simpler A level text like Stanlake too.

Anyway - this was my indispensable and favourite A level book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lipsey & Chrystal Economics, 18 Feb 2007
By JRM (Lancaster UK) - See all my reviews
This book was an alternative to Sloman for my Econ101 course at Lancaster University. In my opinion it is much clearer and easier to understand than Sloman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introductory text, 17 Nov 2008
This review is from: Economics (Hardcover)
I remember about 25 years ago when I was reading for my accountany examinations that I slogged my way through "Positive Economics" which was a thorough introductory text. That edition has since disintegrated and I purchased this along with the Oxford Dictionary of Economics in order to have a basic reference at hand whenever I needed to jog my memory of basic economic concepts after reading the Economist or the Financial Times.

Not quite as detailed or heavy going as 'Positive Economics' but still a worthy introduction.
