-- Lloyd Bird, Owner of Belco Electric

If people understood economics better they would understand freedom better, and this book makes economics understandable. -- Carol Chappell, Attorney, Atlanta, GA ...uses great examples in explaining the fundamentals of Economics. -- Sharon Harris, Executive Director of Advocates for Self-Government This handy, quick reference guide saves searching through hundreds of pages for an answer.  I wish I'd had this book when I first began my study of Economics. -- Dawn Baker, Wall Street Journal Award, DeKalb College; Atlanta Economics Club Scholarship Recipient, Georgia State University ...arguments are well grounded and easy to follow...very powerful points with a minimum of verbosity.  How refreshing!!  In fact you have accomplished a "mission impossible" by making economics actually interesting and even humorous at times while at the same time maintaining a strong line of reasoning. -- Nancy Stroud, PhD, Georgia State University
The Concise Guide To Economics, by Jim Cox

"... a valuable addition to the growing libertarian-Austrian economics library."

-- David Bergland, 1984 LP candidate for President

...well-written, good-humored, and fills a real need for a collection of brief explanations of economic concepts...The works listed at the end of each chapter are excellent... -- Elizabeth Goldin, FLMI, Adjunct Professor of Business Administration, Morehouse College Straight-forward, common sense analysis with hard-core dedication to principle. -- Elliott Stroud, Computer Engineer, Atlanta, GA Brutally honest and straightforward, The Concise Guide is easy to read, well-documented, and thought-provoking.  By making a virtue of simplicity, Cox's work provides a great handbook for teachers, students, and public speakers, and its explanations of economic analysis are so clear that even politicians can understand them... -- Walker Chandler, 1994 Libertarian candidate for Lt. Governor of Georgia Not only is this book concise, it is also clear! -- Carole Ann Rand, President of Advocates For Self-Government
Solidly and unswervingly libertarian in outlook.  Remarkable succinctness--a wealth of useful information packed into chapters hardly longer than a letter-to-the-editor.  Economic theory is brought to life by humor, plain language, and vivid real-world examples.  I especially enjoyed the too-seldom-heard defenses of speculators, advertisers, corporate raiders, price-gougers and other misunderstood and under-appreciated economic actors.  Among the book's highlights are the short and to-the-point chapters on:  the history of economic thought; "Black Tuesday" and the Great Depression; entrepreneurship; the evil Federal Reserve system; and the superiority of market provision of goods over government provision.  Excellent references tell where to go for further information.  I expect to refer to this book often. -- James W. Harris, editor, The Liberator; Mencken Awards finalist; widely-published freelance writer

An extremely useful tool!

-- Frank Williams, Emory University Historian

The Concise Guide to Economics reads well and I hope it sells well. -- Gregory F. Rehmke, Free Enterprise Institute

...recommended for candidates for political office. -- Ron Crickenberger, Campaign Chair for the LNC

Concise is right...uses the fewest possible words to adequately explain the topic. I was impressed! -- Allan Wallace, Vice-Chair DeKalb LP

Just What I've Always Wanted: A Concise Guide to Economics.

And longtime Libertarian Jim Cox has written it...It's an easy read which presents clearly and succinctly the plausibility of the free market perspective and the fallacies in its opposing views.

-- Audrey Goldstein, editor,The GA Libertarian Spike

It's a clear and rational book! -- J. R. Meyer, Treasurer, DeKalb County LP

I've been recommending it to my students! -- Lois Allen, PhD candidate UGA

Enjoyed it very much. Good Show!

-- Dave Garthoff, University of Akron

Anyone can understand this compelling Austrian case for economic liberty. Here's a spirited guide to help anyone better understand economic liberty and rebut the most outrageous attacks on it. -- Jim Powell, Laissez Faire Books
