The book is summarized as an introductory economics text and certainly meets such expectations. From the seemingly unquestionable mathematics of Neoclassicism to the social and political analyses of Marxism and all the mediating principles of Keynsian theory in between – indeed, nearly every fundamental facet of these complex theories is covered in immense and, at times, dense detail.
However, there are moments where the authors can come off as too understanding, where certain passages turn into tangents reminding the reader of the author's strong intent at nonpartisanship. While these are frequent throughout the text, they merely add a fluff to what is otherwise a well formulated and (as much as it can be) unbiased presentation and comparison of today's dominant economic theories.
