Product Description
Local or global, economic issues are on the public's mind-but making sense of supply and demand isn't so simple. This book explains in everyday terms how markets work, introducing the key players-consumers, business, and government-and using their behavior to illustrate basic theories and ideas. In addition, it coaches both general readers and students in the key concepts and analytical tools of macroeconomics and microeconomics, and teaches the dynamics of markets, consumer behavior, business investment, budgets and taxation, recession and expansions, unemployment and inflation, and more.

Reader ReviewsI have a degree in economics and I wanted to refresh myself on some of the things that I learned. This book is probably best for someone who is pretty smart but for anyone who has an interest in economics. In other words, this books assumes the reader has a brain. This also would be a really good book for a student before they take an economics class or who is pursuing a degree. Also, the book has (it has to have) some tables/graphs but the book is not overrun with them which can be intimidating. Also, I don't think there is a "For Dummies" book so this is probably the place to start for those who have an interest.
