4.0 out of 5 stars A good tool for good teachers., May 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Microeconomics (Hardcover)
Economics is simple. This book teaches economics by emphasizing its simplicity. By including/excluding certain sections, it can indeed be used for high school students up to some (non-economics) graduate school classes.

I have taught microeconomics to undergraduates for years and this is the most effective book at teaching students from a wide variety of backgrounds (meaning majors and non-majors). Students with a strong quantitative background or those wanting to learn about economics more in depth should probably buy something else.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lacks Links to Real World Economic Problems, October 15, 2003
By 
Adoumri (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microeconomics (Hardcover)
I am currently enrolled in a Microeconomics course at Columbia University, and I do not find this book easy to read at all, the reason being that the author makes no effort to link microeconomic concepts to real world problems. I have found my Macroeconomics textbook to be immensely more interesting because the concepts relate immediately to social issues and real world economic problems. For students who choose to study economics because of its insights into real world problems, this text may become frustrating. I suggest that the authors more examples of microeconomics in the real world, such as the explanation of "President Carter's Gasoline Tax" on page 106. When economic theory is taught with no reference to the real world, it makes some students less interested in the subject. I intended to study economics with the goal of gaining insight into social welfare problems and understanding government policies. Learning ratios and equations that simply determine how much tacos or hamburgers Sarah wants to eat was demotivating. As a result, I am trudging through my textbook (and class) and starting to wonder if this subject is worth studying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clarity has its price: Verbosity, June 12, 2000
This review is from: Microeconomics (Hardcover)
Is it: a)wordy, b)understandable, c)good in explaining concepts? All three, interestingly.

I've seen better (Mankiw) AND worse (the name slips my mind, but it was from a professor in Iowa) microeconomics texts. The main problem is that in striving to explain the concept (which the author does very well), he really beats it in. But if you miss lectures (or have a new prof who teaches from the book, as was my case), then you should do no wrong with this book.
