ok-ish book

This book is ok-ish, not as good as any of the Microecon book, though still readable.

BOOK

Textbook received on time. Textbook in excellent shape for being a used book.

Excellent book that explains concepts clearly

I am afraid that people who cannot understand this book have low IQs or poor reading skills. They are not qualified to read this book. Do not expect a first-grader to evaluate a university professor. This is an excellent book. It clearly explains major concepts in the macroeconomics. With the help of this book, now I am able to understand many economic issues. I can discern some nonsense in daily discussions. Do not listen to anyone who talks about economics issues but still cannot understand this book.

Excellent Macreconomics Book for Undergraduates

I have found this book very helpful in achieving a solid grasp of different macroeconomic concepts. A very important quality that I should mention is how each chapter builds an important foundation for the following chapter. Macroeconomic models are elaborated in a way that the student could understand not only what they explain (predict), but also how they are derived. I strongly recommend this text for anyone who is interested in understanding the basics of macroeconomics.

A very helpfull book

Macroeconomics makes it easier to understand the very complex fundamentals of macroeconomics. It not only describes the different economic principles but also explaines them and examples are used frequently. Most chapters have at least a case study that shows how the ideas of the chapter can be applied to real-world episodes. The book consist of seven parts which cover different areas. The book provides information about unified development of core business cycle theory; new perspective on inflation, unemployment, growth and productivity and much more. What makes this book unique is that not only it deliver theories and concepts but also possible explanations to the central macroeconomic puzzles. I realy recomend this book.
