The title says it all. This is an introduction, not a comprehensive treatise. And as such it's a very good starter book. Also, more than most introductory economics books, this one really drives home the use of logic, which is nice. Additionally, the questions Gordon scatters strategically throughout the book are very effective at driving home larger points and getting the reader to think through the implications of the concepts. Although nowhere near a one-stop economics book, I highly recommend The title says it all. This is an introduction, not a comprehensive treatise. And as such it's a very good starter book.

Although nowhere near a one-stop economics book, I highly recommend this read, along with a few others, to anyone trying to get a grasp of economics.
