This is the beginning of Week 4 of my Econ101 course. I’m currently running at 92% overall in the course, but that isn’t the reason I’m excited about it.
It’s the textbook!
I blurbed on it back in August before Fall Quarter started and liked the reviews enough to think I would enjoy the course.
No nonsense. No farting around with generalized this-or-that theories. No Touchy-Feely. Just straight, to the bone, real world thinking and instruction on how the real world operates individual-to-individual, individual-to-business and business-to-business.
