"A guide to understanding 'the dismal science' and how economic concepts and institutions affect our daily lives" ( The Economist , December 2010) "...a must read in economic literacy." ( USA Today , November 29, 2010) "Finally, an economics book that is neither dull nor inscrutable and that won't put you to sleep. Greg Ip gives us a lucid and entertaining understanding of 'the dismal science' and reveals how economic concepts and institutions affect our daily lives. This little gem can turn all of us into sophisticated and educated citizens." - Burton G. Malkiel , Professor of Economics, Princeton University; author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street and The Elements of Investing "Greg Ip is one of the world's best economic journalists. The Little Book of Economics will teach you much more than a little about the forces that shape all of our lives." - N. Gregory Mankiw , Professor of Economics, Harvard University; author of Principles of Economics "Here's the perfect way to understand the economy without breaking a sweat. Clearly written and easy to understand, The Little Book of Economics guides you through what you need to know. Ip's bright light illuminates places previously darkened by insider jargon and arcane formulae." - Robert B.

A must read in economic literacy." " - Nouriel Roubini , Professor of Economics, New York University; Co-founder and Chairman of Roubini Global Economics "Greg Ip has the rare talent of making even the toughest topics easy to understand.

- 2***4 (174)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI got the Blu ray of STRANDED, a sci Fi movie starring Christian slater and I got it at a really great price from estocks_usa. I'm a bit surprised on how fast they got it to me because of the 4th of July weekend window I'd ordered it in, but it got to me earlier than listed and well wrapped up. It got to me in brand new looking shape. Good seller, fast shipping and they sent me what they advertised.Stranded [Blu-ray] Blu-ray (#196118869136)
- c***d (5365)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFar better condition than expected, in comparison with the seller's description -- jewel case shows no cracks or major scratches, and CD plays perfectly. Some significant delivery issues (not the seller's fault!); but the seller was VERY responsive, and even sent a refund without my asking! When the package mysteriously turned up, the seller patiently walked me through multiple repayment options until I was able to successfully repay them. Wonderful #1 customer service people -- thanks again!Kathy and Carol (#196621076248)
