Series review:
Your Economic Future
"Highly
accessible entries about the often-complicated world of economics. ... Statistical
data, legislative actions, historical events, and expert opinions are integrated
smoothly into the clear, informative writing. The texts feature sidebars
offering concise supplementary material; large, color photographs, and smooth
transitions between chapters. ... The authors provide a balanced discussion,
presenting the arguments for and against hotly debated issues ... These books give
excellent overviews of core economic concepts ... They also promote financial
literacy and provide an understanding of economic basics. They take economics
from a broad, world view, systematically peeling back the levels (federal,
state, city, business) down to the individual."

young readers with an introduction to financial literacy. Information is
presented accurately; topics are well-researched. The writing style makes
somewhat complicated concepts easy for young adults to grasp. There is a wealth
of color photographs, large headings, textboxes, and charts that increase the
books' usefulness. An abundance of supplementary material enhances this set.
Students will get a good understanding of economics in everyday life and how it
affects them." --
