Written in the same humorous, reader-friendly style as Professor Landsburg's widely popular trade book, The Armchair Economist, the lively eighth edition of PRICE THEORY AND APPLICATIONS adopts an inductive, hands-on approach that enables students to learn economics by doing. And it requires no knowledge or use of calculus. Using a student-friendly, easy-to-understand format, the book thoroughly develops the standard concepts of intermediate price theory as well as timely, untraditional issues not found in many texts -- such as the economics of information. Social welfare is also highlighted as a unifying concept throughout. The book's rigorous, meticulous development of economic theory is supported by countless intriguing and entertaining exhibits, examples, numerical exercises, and problem sets integrated within the text and included at the end of chapters, giving students countless opportunities to test their comprehension of chapter concepts. With its highly interactive approach, t

Landsburg is a hoot - makes reading econ fun. Used this in my MBA504 class. Plus the guy who had it before me was nice enough to highight the most important bits in each chapter, making my reading faster. I paid $10 for the book, and got an A+ - what more could I ask for?

4.0 out of 5 stars Nearly New
Reviewed in the United States on 9 January 2014

This book held up best and was the one I used second most this semester. I thought the text would better be replaced with a few mathematical examples, but overall it read much like a picture book. Look at the graph first, and then read through the text. Constantly look at the graphics, because that is the most important part. Nearly half of the text is mathematical explanation of elementary computations. Perfect supplement to my teacher. The problems always seemed much harder than what was explained in the chapter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very accessible

Well... This is a review for this textbook... But if you're a student, I suppose reviews aren't helpful since you're going to have to buy this for your class anyways. In any case, I feel that this textbook doesn't explain Economics very well. I feel that some of their analogies are great, but when they start to go into quantitative analysis, I get completely lost and confused. In fact, this textbook doesn't play like a textbook. It reads more like a persuasive treatise on why free markets are the best form of markets in the world. Then it shows or even outright makes up data in order to prove it.
