This book provides a superb explanation of the core concepts of economics, allowing the reader to grasp the essential principles, or, as in my case, allowing the reader to gain a far better understanding of these principles than he previously had. The author uses colorful examples, and he is an excellent writer who uses good English to make his points rather than dry jargon. It allows the reader to develop a much more vivid, clear understanding of the principles in question. This is a superb book, which I highly recommend.

Great Economic Bok September 30, 2008
This is the greatest economics book I have ever read. As a two year college Economics student that should bear considerable weight. Wheelan demonstrates complex economic theories using easy to follow everyday examples.
Great book September 11, 2008
Wheelan presents a rational view of the major economic concerns of our time. He addresses politics in the framework of a free market economy and clearly presents how to allow business to progress without allowing the free market to blow through the social concerns of our society.
 More liberals should read it. August 5, 2008

Overall I thought some of the analysis was incorrect as the author allows for government intervention more than is logically (or empirically) necessary. Overall it is a good book, but not as good as Free to Choose, Basic Economics, or Economics in One Lesson. Nevertheless, I wish more liberals read the book so they can learn about positive side about free markets.
