Basic Economics, Fifth Edition

A Common Sense Guide to the Economy

By: Thomas Sowell

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki

In this fifth edition of Basic Economics, Thomas Sowell revises and updates his popular book on commonsense economics, bringing the world into clearer focus through a basic understanding of the fundamental economic principles and how they explain our lives. Drawing on lively examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains basic economic principles for the general public in plain English.

Basic Economics, which has now been translated into six languages and has additional material online, remains true to its core principle: that the fundamental facts and principles of economics do not require jargon, graphs, or equations and can be learned in a relaxed and even enjoyable way.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Much Information About Factual Economic.

Much details about how economics works. I am glad I got this because I got fed up with people, news, media, and social groups talking about how the economy should work when after hearing this audio book I can gladly confirm, Many ignorant people do not understand that there is always a trade off to everything. It can get boring if you are not into learning and the voice for this book is calming but can get in the way at times. Highly recommend this book if you want to try to learn some of the many types of economics, pros, cons, cause and effect, and how some economic sayings can be misunderstood or plain out lies that the news will try to narrate at times.

Definitely need to read!

Very good book, this should be given to high school economics students to read and used as a teaching tool.

Informative

Like: Data, real-life examples, very informative, important information and points everyone should consider
Dislike: The narrator was a bit dry at times

Easy to understand

It takes a complex subject and makes it very clear. The real world examples are also very interesting.

Great book

I had a little bit of a hard time listening to this at first. Once I got used to the voice of the reader it was fine. This book is easy to understand
