Applied Economics is an accessible guide to how our economic decisions develop. It explains the application of economics to major world problems, including housing, medical care, discrimination, and the economic development of nations. The book is based on an international view of economics, includes examples from around the world, and shows how certain incentives and constraints produce similar outcomes among disparate peoples and cultures.©2009 Thomas Sowell (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Sowell is amazing. The only thing is that when you read his several books, things get repetitive. nevertheless, worth your time and consideration

There are so many things covered in this book that I never would have connected to economics. I think this is an incredible read for absolutely anyone.

A worthy read

Seriously. This should be required reading for every high school student, or at least college. It's baseline information one *needs* to know to have informed opinions on social, economic issues. On top of that it's eloquently written and read.

Wow. Everyone should read this.

Awesome book but the performance could have used a bit more punch in his presentation. other than that, the book is great.

If you have read Basic Economics, read this one.

Every child in America should know this book before graduating high school. It has such long reaching impacts to economics of course but also life choices, politics, policy, business decision making etc. Simply a phenomenal, straight to the point piece of work. Looking for more Thomas Sowell!!!!

Teach this in High School

I read Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics before this one, and it is a good follow up. It does repeat a lot of the same themes covered in BE but with more focus on the long-run effects of policies that may appear to pay off in the short run. He also does diverge somewhat towards the end in his discussion about immigration, but it's still good analysis even if he sort of goes off on a tangent. Sowell is a master teacher, able to explain economics without charts and graphs and be understood.
