Manageable and informative! The second edition of Economics: Principles and Tools by O'Sullivan/Sheffrin provides a good introduction to both macro and microeconomics. This was especially true for me since my math skills aren't up to par. It was manageable and understandable for those who don't do well with numbers. The CD was helpful in understanding the graphs that were involved in textbook. In addition to providing an introduction to economics, it does a good job of helping you understand how you can use economics in your everyday life. Especially in chapter two where they introduce five economic principles you will reuse throughout your economic course and in your daily life: (1) principle of opportunity cost, (2) marginal principle, (3) principle of diminishing returns, (4) spillover principle, (5) reality principle. Economics: Principles and Tools is an excellent resource and textbook for anyone who has a limited knowledge of economics and is willing to learn these five economic principles. | ||
A Review of O'Sullivan/Sheffrin Lacking is ease of use. Chapter 8 (critical chapter) especially dense. Did not like. | ||
Not to bad This book was very easy to read, it can be classified as an intro to Econ. It is used in the 201 class at UTK. It is however not that great when it comes to examples. | ||
