5.0 out of 5 stars A must for first year Economics students, 21 Jan 2002
This review is from: Economics, 4th Ed. (Paperback)
Sloman has excelled himself by producing a book on economics that is bright, colourful, well layed out and interesting to read.

I viewed economics as a boring subject until i picked up and read sloman. The great thing about this book is that you can just pick it up and read. It is well written in a concise and informative way that is not to technical yet contains all the information. This is backed up at the end of every section by a bullet point summary that covers the entire section.

If that is not enough the book is littered with case samples and explanations of terms, all importantly this book is utilising online accompanyment to the best of its ability. A website that has answers to questions in the book and the possiblity for a lecturer or teacher to set up and online course guide for their school or university.

This book is a must for anybody who wants to learn economics from scratch ot to build on their economics knowledde whether for school/university or for personal use.

2.0 out of 5 stars Is Economics that easy?, 5 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Economics (Paperback)
Sir! I have read that book as being the standart literature for economics A-Level. Surely the book covers most of the important topics and current affairs of economic science. As a student, however, your motivation is to go on the ground of something, i.e. on the very basic economic thinking and ideas of any model or argument. In the respect the book does not meet that requirement. You can read it to become aware of economic problems and possible solutions, where it leads the reader clearly to. In my opinion the book is lacking the outlining and explaining of the underlying ideas. For anyone who thinks about economics seriously (even to read it at university), I recommend Robert J. Barro's introduction in Macroeconomics (available at MIT Press, ISBN 0-262-02436-5) which starts with the microeconomic foundation, leading to the market, and then into all other macro-topics. Even though it is designed for undergraduates and graduates at university level, it is easily readable and most accessible to everyone who wants to expand their economic understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, 6 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Economics, 4th Ed. (Paperback)
Very well organised text book, I think it is probably more suitable for undergraduate, but A-Level students will also enjoy this book. A MUST for Economics student!
