Title: Great supplement for an economics class
Product review: For an economics professor, this is an excellent choice to use along with a more traditional economics text, such as Schiller or Mankiw. The viewpoint of the authors is left-leaning, which balances out the conservative/mainstream view of most popular economics textbooks. It is a good resource for student papers or presentations, and I have encouraged students to look for both updated data and data that supports a more conservative view. There is a web site that goes along with the book and has suggestions for using it in a class. The only downside of using the Fieldguide is that the numbers go out of date, and I hope a new version is issued in the near future.
