Book Description

July 27, 2004 0072872055 978-0072872057 18
Samuelson’s text was first published in 1948, and it immediately became the authority for the principles of economics courses. The book continues to be the standard-bearer for principles courses, and this revision continues to be a clear, accurate, and interesting introduction to modern economics principles. Bill Nordhaus is now the primary author of this text, and he has revised the book to be as current and relevant as ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Textbook on Economics March 6, 2007
Format:Hardcover
I remmber my first encounter with this book in 1978 when I was undergraduate student in accounting and finance. In my micro-economics course, the main textbook was W.Hansen "Principles of Economics". When Samuelson's book with its four colors and 3D charts arrived in our colleage libarary, the 150 students of Business faculty were literaly fighting over the only seven copies in the libarary shelves. I have copied more than 50 pages from the book in long hand, there was no photocopy machines at that time, as there was a long queu waiting for the book. I have learned alot from Samuelson's book and I am so pleased to own the first Arabic translation of the textbook in 2005. The translation was superb and made by Hisham Abdllah and published by Al-Ahlia Publishing House in Amman, Jordan.

My comments are provoked by the reviews already posted with regard to the 18th Edition of Samuelson's text. I am an engineer by profession who in the latter days of his career has been teaching seniors in chemical engineering the elements of process systems engineering, which includes engineering economics. Samuelson, whom I greatly admire, has provided us with an approach to the complex and, given the present economic situation the world, and only partially understood science, if that is what is, of economics. But my true guide is John Maynard Keynes as expressed in his The General Theory of Employment,Interest, and Money. He, at least, recognized the psychological dimensions of economics, something that seems teo be lagging far beyond his times. And his counsel led us out of the Great Depression, even if it took WarII to do so. So, read Samuelson, but read beyond also.
