I have to read this book for class, and I've only gotten through maybe the first 3 chapters....so far all I've really gotten from it is political banter. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to even use the text based on lack of clear economics basis, there's more political opinion than economical facts.

Wordy Politics
I find this book was trying to not be as political as it was, and ended up really wordy. I need this book for me Economics class, but it rarely helped me and I never got around to reading the chapters. There is just so much wording to it, that when you try to do the chaper reviews, you are more confused then when you started reading it.
Even though Economics is the same thing over and over, I think I learned more from class discussion than I did in the book.
