Summary: AWFUL EXAMPLE of a TEXTBOOK!
Review: This book is awful, as an introduction into economics its hard to understand and there are no good examples for the problems. Also you must know the secrets of using the tables and formula's (its a secret because they really dont explain EXACTLY HOW to use this to your best advantage. This book is not worth the money or the paper that its printed on! Do your self a favor if you use this book--buy the Schaum's outline go with it, Schaum's does what this book could only hope to do ---> TEACH you the material!

Summary: Terrible start for any financial studies.
Review: This book is not a good book at all. The book has hardly any examples to help you learn the material. It is full of problems at the end of each chapter, but it is hard to solve any of them due to the lack of worked out example problems. The book is full of proofs of the financial formulas, which is a waste of time in the real world. The book is hard to read and even harder to understand. The only good use of this book is toilet paper and it wouldn't do a very good job at that either.
