`Review from previous edition John Black's dictionary provides
clear and concise explanations...An excellent system of
cross-referencing the various entries is a valuable aspect...this
book is strongly recommended as a handy work of reference for any
non-economist who wants to have a better idea about what is going
on in economic debates...this book deserves to sell well to a wide
audience...it illuminates in a concise and accessible way many of
the words
and ideas used both in economics itself and in practical political
debates on the subject.'
