If there is a single recent book that can advance economic literacy in this country, it is Thomas Sowell's...Basic Economics... Sowell has managed to make economics humane again, relevant and interesting to young people and ordinary citizens!, Basic Economics is not only valuable for a general lay-person audience; it would also benefit lawyers, politicians, and, yes, economists, as well.

Half the box was so saturated from rain/water, that the box was wet on the inside. The item was completely dry inside the bubble pouch. Shipping was pretty quick. I feel I got a great value for something I have been looking for.Tacklife T8 Car Jump Starter GREAT CONDITION (#388237301127)
