[.ca] Economics (ISBN 0764112740)

Wonderful prep for an MBA program, and study guide for CLEPs:
Your Business Review series is excellent. While this series was not designed for CLEPs or any of the other standardized examinations universities use to test accomplished areas of knowledge, I have found the entire series crucial for just that. Particularly as I am entering an MBA program. These volumes were precisely what I needed, and I have been telling everyone with even slight interest in these topics about them. Specifically, I am referring to the following books of the series (by title): Accounting, Economics, Finance, (Business) Statistics, Management, and Marketing.

Great book as a supplement or a refresher!:
Having already obtained a B.S. in Economics, I was looking for a book to have a refresher before I start my masters degree. Boy did I ever pick the right book! This book is fantastic. It is easy to read, is very insightful, and has great question and answer sessions as you go through the chapters. It even has an entire chapter (ch. 2) on what most people find to be the most difficult part of economics, the graphs. It covers Macro, Micro, and even stems out into taxes and government, spilling over a bit into finance even. This is a great book and I would reccomend it for anyone who needs a good refresher or just some additional help.

Good resource:
This book has come in handy with some of my business courses. When a text book is "foggy" on something this littly book has come through to clear up the subject in question. The only down side to this is that most classes are taught with a separation between micro and macro. This book is separated also, but I think it would be best to have to books instead of one, that way the authors could cover each area in more detail.

Good economics primer:
This book, like the others I have read from the Business Review Series is top notch. It covers the topics presented in college level economics courses. It covers macroeconomics and microeconomics theories. Easily, this is one of the more readable texts on an otherwise dry subject. The book targets both students and professionals who want to get a deeper understanding of economics. Recommended.
