Designed for more of a college audience, the book presents a general background to economics that is appropriate for non-economics majors; it gives detailed illustrations about market qualities and somewhat current information on market trends and political issues (i.e. tax, subsidies, etc.). Not intended for hardcore economics read, it does a fair job of representing economic concepts, and it is--in all regards--a college textbook (which is noticeable in the problems for each chapter as excuses to attempt quantitative understanding of economic practices. If you must use it for a class, it is bearable, but I would not find it particularly appealing for someone who is fairly interested in economics.
