About the Author
Sean is an assistant professor of economics at Scripps College in Claremont, California. He is the author of the international best seller "Economics for Dummies" as well as the coauthor, along with Campbell McConnell and Stanley Brue, of the world's best-selling college economics textbook, "Economics: Principles, Problems, and Policies".
An avid martial artist, Sean is a former Aikido national champion and has coached five of his students to U.S. national aikido titles.
A recurring commentator on FOX Business, ABC News, and NPR, Sean holds a B.A. in economics from the University of Southern California and a Ph.D. in economics from U.C. Berkeley, where he completed his dissertation under the supervision of Nobel Laureate George Akerlof.
Sean's research focuses on the often puzzling and seemingly irrational behavior of stock market investors, but he's also investigated topics as wide-ranging as the factors that affect customer tipping behavior at restaurants and why you see a lot of unionized workers only in certain industries.

FYI: Don't do the Primis E-Book!,
By
This review is from: Economics (McGraw-Hill Economics) 18th Edition (Hardcover)
FYI: If your thinking about purchasing the Primus E-book instead of the hard copy I urge you not to do it. I did, being gun-ho about technology, and since the two short weeks of my purchase have had nothing but issues. My final straw has been today, Sat. at 10:30am when the website has shut down for "updates" and the "hotline" number is turned off. (You can only access the book through this website -or spend 6 hrs downloading a pdf). They also promise that you can "copy and paste" from the text, but what they don't tell you is your charged every time you do this. I've sent a strongly worded email which will fall on deaf ears, and now I'm going to my next line of defense: Online Reviews! Don't be the next victim, and don't let your friends be the next victium - Primuis E-Book is BAD spread the word! Macroeconomics

Substantial content moved to web, but you have to buy it again,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Economics (McGraw-Hill Economics) 18th Edition (Hardcover)
For $140 you'd think they'd sell you the whole book, but there is some content (listed below) that is only available on the web. Well, maybe it's available - let me see - you need to login as student, new registration, did you get a registration card with your book? Well, I don't know but it's sure not here now. Well then, you'll have to pay another $16 to access the web content. How would you like to pay?
Honestly, I knew textbook companies were crooks but.... What's missing: chapters on tech and efficiency, developing countries, and the gold-standard and Bretton Woods systems. Also there are worked problems, interactive graphs, and 70 articles on certain histories. None of this is available for the $140 price. Or maybe it is. Maybe I accidentally threw away my registration card because (silly me) I had no reason to suspect that part of the book was not included with the book. Now, without said card I will have to pony up another $16 to finish buying the book I thought I bought. FU, McGraw-Hill.

A popular college level text,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Economics (McGraw-Hill Economics) 18th Edition (Hardcover)
This version contains both the micro and macro sections together. There are also separate micro only and macro only versions of the text.
A study guide is available separately: ISBN: 978-0-07-336880-1. The study guide contains a summary of each chapter along with short answer, true/false, and multiple choice questions (with answers). Two of the chapters (11W & 39W) and one supplement (39S) are only available online in PDF form (from mcconnell18e.com). There is no charge to download these chapters. Other free content like quizzes and interactive graphs can be found on the same website. Premium content--available for a fee on the same website--includes: - key questions (the same key questions in the text, but no answers!) - narrated slides (handy to watch before a class, but not a substitute for reading the text) - iPod content (the same narrated slides in iPod video and audio format) - Paul Solomon videos (like a mini lecture) The version I bought from Amazon did not come with a registration code for premium content, but I was able to sign up for $20.00.
