Ossih Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hi! I haven't heard of the first book you mentioned. The Oxford Course Companion is pretty good It has nice explanations and is really colourful. Another good textbook is the Cambridge book by Ellie Tragakes, but its lack of colour sort of makes it boring. The explanations are to the point and precise, however I felt once that something was missed out. For last minute revision, the OxfordEconomics study guide (which is another book) is really good. Since the course companion and study guide are made by different authors, they contain different information in places. The study guide for example, presents the Liquidity Preference for money theory, which is quite interesting. Economics from the Good Bad And Economist is okay I guess. Overall, if you have to choose just one, I'd say the Oxford Course Companion. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
