Has anyone else realized this?
I do agree with most of his (John Bulmer) views ie. anti-nationalism, etc. But does anyone else think his textbook is way too opinionated?

I believe an economics textbook should be as objective as possible. Presenting arguments from both sides and letting the reader decide their standpoint for themselves. The leading edge textbook seems to do this.

So what does everybody think?

EDIT: on second thought, maybe it is good that it is opinionated. Perhaps it is best to use the leading edge or Tim Riley textbook as your main source for information to build a solid base and read the Bulmer books and others to gain different perspectives of economic issues.
