The average housewife is a better economics teacher.

the book is all about involvement between the government and the house hold behavior,which generates to individual daily life of the consumer.
The cartoon is pretty amazing! The author made a great job to get the hard microeconomics across. Though it is impossible to deliver all the knowledge of this vast ocean, I somehow owe her a lot for making it easier to grip and learn.Not easy to flip through rapidly. NO, I still have to start at it a lot, flip forward then backwards.
Fascinating. Joyously Fascinating. As one would expect the final chapters get pretty political, but other than that it is economics described about as well as one can describe them, and in the most layman terms possible. I might read it again!
I was so mad at the end of this book. I felt like she didn't represent the poor or lower classes at all. She still had a way to go home and eat whenever she felt like it. She needed to be more dedicated to this project. However if she is aiming for the way upper class to at least semi understand the poor, then maybe she shed a small pin light on it. VERY VERY disappointed.
Super long, reiterative and tendentious at some points. Picked this in order to brush up on some information I learned 4 years ago but hey it was a dry boring energy-suffocating read. Dumped halfway through.

Had to read for my microeconomics class. Very interesting.
Very tedious read, but that's how textbooks tend to be. I disagree with a whole lot of the theory, but that's to be expected from an explanation of libertarian micro-economics. The formatting was very interesting and helpful with the included practice questions (+solutions!) and real-life examples.
Everyone should read.
In this publication, one can find the essential matters related to the economy and finance. It seemed to be quite fundamental and informative. Paul Krugman made a good effort in composing the publication with details and illustrations yet in simple manners. Hence the audience find the publication insightful as well as approachable. Overall, the publication seemed to be helpful and worthwhile for most people.
University of Toronto sits in the top 20 universities in the world but got worse organisation than a 20-employee tech startup that's 5 million dollars in debt.
Very disappointing. I was hoping for an interesting study, and got anecdotes. And I hated her self-important tone.
This book was so well written and helpful that I stopped going to lecture because the book provided me with all of the information I needed in an easily understandable format.
Friedman really puts his ill-conceived analogy skills to the test in this astoundingly uninformative book. It's a mish-mash of wild speculation, obvious truths, and irrelevant anecdotes. Anyone who has ever read a newspaper since 1999 already knows everything this book has to offer.
Probably as enjoyable as an econ textbook can be. Yay Paul Krugman. I really enjoyed all the real world stories and examples.
A good overview for those who have never done their reading on the subject, but I suspect its sudden bursts of not-so-subtle bias and its very textbook-like tone won't offer much to those more acquainted than I was. At its best, a solid introduction.
Good information.
Not like its macro part
