Like a lens that brings the indistinct into focus, Parkin's Macroeconomics introduces students to the art of seeing the invisible, teaching them interpret the story told by the economic indicators, uncover meaning hidden in the headlines, and gain a clear vision through economic analysis. An inspired teacher and crystal-clear writer, Michael Parkin has long been dedicated to helping students discover and apply the timeless principles of economics. Parkin invites students to: / See and understand the issues of our time in the brightest light, with the most compelling examples and clearest explanation. / Visualize economic principles in action using a widely acclaimed approach to graphical analysis. / Gain perspective on current economic events and today's principal economic thinkers through a series of carefully crafted features.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Plain bad,
This review is from: Macroeconomics (Paperback)
The concepts might be spot-on, but the presentation is not. The book adopts the narrative, rambling styles so common in college textbooks these days. It doesn't define its terms well or link its terms with its graphs.
Manages to make introductory Macroeconomics more difficult than it should be. ON THE SEARCH FOR BETTER TEXTBOOKS! If someone knows a decent one, put it up in a review for others to see.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great textbook,
By RW (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Macroeconomics (Paperback)
I am an engineer/scientist and I used this book for my first course in World Economy/Macro. Although the course used Mankiw Macroeconomics 5th Ed as the textbook (which is a good intermediate-level book), this book provided a great introductory foundation for the various concepts.
The color illustrations/tables in this book are by far the best that I have seen (for example the book uses real units on x and y axes and actual data wherever possible in figures which makes them less abstract than the figures found in other books). Economics by Hall is also a reasonably good book but not as versatile as this one.
