Product description

Review

I really love this book. I love the presentation, which is sophisticated yet accessible to students who have had no economics experience. Economics majors love the applications and are often surprised at what they learn. The text has been strengthened and solidified over time. I am so impressed that the updates have been comprehensive, the data is not stale, and references to new research have been incorporated seamlessly. Love it. I'm starting to sound like a groupie."
― Kathryn Nantz, Fairfield University

This is a readable, engaging book written by scholars deeply involved in research and teaching. The authors are able to explain complex economic concepts, theories, and empirical findings in language that even non-economics students can understand. Its coverage is comprehensive and interdisciplinary."
― Brenda Wyss, Wheaton College

“I love the topical boxes. Many times we will actually read them in class (I don't generally read out of the book in lectures). Current examples/research is wonderful and having them highlighted this way is great. I am all for more of this.”
― Cheryl Carleton, Villanova University

What I appreciate most about this text is the focus on the narratives of the women laborers within their economic/workplace contexts, often in their own words."
― Mahruq Khan, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse

“I am becoming more inclined to consider BFW as primary text because of quantity/quality of material presented. It would be time-consuming, but relatively straightforward to put together a class using the organization structure of the current/proposed BFW text.”

Economics has never been my best subject, but this book explains concepts in a way that anyone can understand. There are a few charts and diagrams that are tough to understand, but overall the book easily illustrates how different the male and female market experiences are.

The chapters are a decent size: some range from 15-20 pages and some others are around the 40 page range (but the material is interesting, so it's not too bad!)

Overall, this is a great text for anyone taking an economics course.

Excellent college textbook for economics or business. Not appropriate for those with a more activist mindset. It is about understanding the world that exists and asdapting yourself, not about changing the system

This book is great and it gets its points across to the reader well. Easy to follow along with the teacher for students and covers a wide variety of topics within the book.
