The MIT Dictionary of Modern Economics: 4th Edition

Summary: Neoclassical economics pure
Review: A really, really useful reference for neoclassical economic terms and concepts. Just like the economic mainstream itself, is not very aware that there are other approaches out there - there is no entry for "structuralist macroeconomics" for example;)

Review: I have owned the third edition published in 1989 since 1991. This book will serve as an invaluable reference book for an undergraduate or graduate economics student. The definitions are lucid, succinct and precise. The cross references are excellent and the format is highly readable. I would love to see a newer edition, but even this 1992 published edition will serve you very well.
