'The proposal includes a nice mix of topics that largely mirror those I cover in my Reporting on the Economy course [...] The global perspective of the author and text is a strength, as well [...] I would certainly consider it [...] The main weakness from my perspective is that it is UK-centric [...] But that would obviously be a strength if you are teaching in the UK! The UK-centric approach probably would prevent it from being a required text but the global perspective could make it a useful supplement.' -Pam Luecke, Washington and Lee University, USA 'The key strengths of the book is that it appears to offer an accessible introduction to basic economic terms and issues [...] Probably the key weakness of the book is that some of what it describes as the key issues could become dated [...]It probably covers the main areas.' -Keith Butterick, University of Huddersfield, UK 'The approach is very practical and useful, thinking in the students. The assignments at the end of each chapter are very important [...] it seems that the style will be very attractive [...]It is very relevant that the author will try to think about how to be effective communicating economic news through new technologies [...] I could consider including a book like this in my courses as supplementary reading, not as an essential one. The main reason -for a Spanish university- is the difficulty to adopt as a required text a book in a foreign language.' - Angel Arrese, University of Navarra, Spain
