Customer Reviews

Without a doubt the best economics book ever.

If you are taking basic macro and want a book that is concise, fact based, and to the point, this is exactly what you are looking for. Very few opinions, and highly fact based and driven. I don't regret using this book for a second and I think more classes should consider using books by this author. Good read and highly informative

Great study guide

The study guide provides a great way to review the problems from the book's chapters and takes a unique approach to explaining the details provided in the book. I have used this study guide to prepare for my exams and quizzes, and it has been a very valuable resource.

Excellent Introductory Textbook

This is an excellent resource for those planning to learn the principles of Economics. The chapters are very easy to read and continue to build upon concepts covered earlier in the material. Contains very concise Chapter Reviews and plenty of Review Questions to reinforce the material. If you want to learn the basics pertaining to Economics, this is definitely a good place to start!

Brief Principles of Macroeconomics

The product was everything I expected. It was in perfect condition and exactly as the seller described.

Solid introductory text for students and general readers

This very readable book is a subset of the chapters included in Prof. Mankiw's "Principles of Economics". That book has thirty-six chapters in thirteen parts. This has eighteen chapters in eight parts. Parts one and two are common to both editions. This one excludes the discussion of microeconomics in parts three through seven, but has the rest of the chapters in parts eight through fifteen. It is much more manageable for a one term introductory course in macroeconomics. However, do not confuse this introductory text with the more mathematically rigorous book Macroeconomics that is also authored by Mankiw. However, if you want to be an econometrician, neither text is probably enough to get you where you need to be to launch into those studies. This book has a lot of strengths for those who want to develop some intuitions about economic thought and who may not have the mathematics necessary for a more rigorous treatment of the subject. However, the foundation it will give you will be sound and ecumenical enough to allow you to take on further studies in various branches of macroeconomics that have a more defined theology on the role of government in the economy.
