    Need an economics revision book and only 1 I seem to see is the one published by folens and written by Michael Ruane.

    Is this worth buying?


    Cheers.

    I think it is one of the only ones for Economics but it is good. Our textbook (Understanding economics, the blue one) is rubbish. There is waaaay to much waffle in it and most of the time we work from the revision book.

    The rapid revision economics is very handy indeed. There's a lot of stuff in it too that's not in the 'blue' textbook.

    History: ReviseWise is pretty good. Short too.

    Hi All,

    If anyone has a copy of Rapid Revision Economics for Leaving Certificate, could you please get in contact with me! Folens have now discontinued it, but I am looking for a copy because from what I have read, it was excellent. I have been looking at ReviseWise and Shortcuts to Success but neither seem to offer revision books for Economics - from what I can see anyway. Less Stress has one, but they only have the old version available on their website.

    If anyone does have a copy of Rapid Revision Economics, could you please get in touch with me - I could really do with it this year! If you have any suggestions regarding what alternative revision books are out there for LC Economics, they would be much appreciated too.

    Kind Regards.

    I have a copy which is second hand so it would be third hand for you. It's highlighted to bits from me and drawn on from it's previous owners. I went to Less Stress as I realized it was better. You don't have to write a lot for Economics.
