Customer Reviews

Tracking information was not available.

A week before my class I emailed the company where I purchased the book from to ask for a ETA. He emailed saying there was no tracking number.. (I placed my order 3 weeks before class.) I do not know how or why that could of happened, I was just concerned with getting my book. I really felt as though my purchase was not important. After an exchange of emails, I was told I'd get my book with 2-3 days... it ended up coming 1 day before class. I guess this is not uncommon, however, I do keep the online companies I purchase from, and I will stay clear of that one... Thank you, D Lambrecht

Great service. Condition of book was okay, but that was expected from the seller's report on the condition (very accurate report) and it was delivered in a very timely manner.

Review of Macroeconomics by Case/Fair

The authors provide an understandable presentation of the dynamics of demand/supply, the price structure, equilibrium and concepts of elasticity. The data employed is current & this version is supported by the publisher in various prior versions , as well as, this successive version. The work has considerable technological support in the form of the CD Rom and various instructional materials.The authors provide a useful "News Analysis" to integrate current events into the text. This is very useful in providing background information for students. The problem sets are topical and challenging. There is a considerable discussion of international economics and transitional economies. Overall, the text can satisfy a wide range of student interests. i.e. Those students having a quantitative orientation will appreciate the considerable graphs throughout the text. Students having a more visual learning experience will enjoy the various news items throughout the text & the extensive discussion of basic definitions. The chapter summaries and WEB exercises are helpful in integrating the material & applying the various concepts using current technologies. This text should be employed for intensive renditions of introductory economics at the collegiate level.There is an appropriate amount of microeconomic coverage in the Principles of Macroeconomics, as well as, the more comprehensive Principles of Economics work. After having read this book, students should have a firm grasp of economics and the various data employed by industry.

This work would provide very helpful background for further studies in Price Analysis and Econometrics (Mathematical Economics).

excellent economics text for beginners

I am teaching an Economics class at the beginning college level at a private business college. This book is one of the better business textbooks I have encountered. It provides real-life and simplistic examples to help students understand complex issues. I recommend it.C. Le Fevre
