This book was required for my macroeconomics class. I found it to be boring, dense, and without any flow. The book just throws too much information at you all at once and I found that to make the book very confusing. Macro is not exactly easy and you need to understand the graphs and numbers and this book makes that very frustrating. I only did well in the class because the professor only tested us on class discussions and not specifics from the reading. Macroeconomics can be interesting but this book won't help you realize that. Unfortunately, I am done with my study of economics so I can't recommend anything else. All I can say is to search for another book.

Also, for such a small book, I don't know why it is so expensive.
