Howdy ladies and gents,Is anyone else finding The Market Economy by Dixon extremely difficult to understand? I'm finding it hard to comprehend because I think it isn't written the way it should be for high school students.Also the workbook questions (for example in chapter 2) are questions on chapter 3 which is ridiculous as far as i'm concernedThanks friends

My teacher actually said Dixon is more concise and easier to understand compared to Riley....
Dixon is definitely not extremely difficult to understand in my opinion....
I have to use Riley for Year 11 and then we use Dixon in Year 12...

Economics requires a bit of effort for the information to sink in your head...

EDIT: My teacher gives us photocopies of the Dixon textbook for certain chapters....

We use Dixon and I don't have any problems with it so far. I am up to chapter 5.

Dixon is piss easy to understand.

Riley is a lot harder but not significantly.

My class uses Riley, it's pretty easy to understand but a lot of the information seems too irrelevant.
