5.0 out of 5 stars
Expedited Service was Excellent!
A few hours after placing my purchase, I received notice that my book had been shipped by the seller. I received my package within the next few days which was great since my class was starting. I would diffidently recommend this seller to any purchaser! Thanks Lois Lane :>

That is precisely true. This textbook gives you a conventional account of mainstream macroeconomics (as well as basic microeconomics) in a fairly nuanced manner (for a mainstream text). The main problem of the text is that it sometimes gets so long-winded, overly colorful and tedious that often one is better off just reading the summary in the end of the chapter.

Economics by Baumol covers both micro and macro. Get that book, and you don't have to buy two books. Hint.
