This review is from: Principles of Macroeconomics (Paperback)

I bought this 8th edition for my macroeconomics class instead of the 9th edition that was supplied at the campus bookstore. It basically has the same information in it...the only thing different about it is that the order of things in some of the chapters are in a different order. Some of the pictures and statistics are different as well, but overall, the important material is the same. If you do not want to pay for the expensive 9th edition and do not need the disk that comes with it, I would definitely recommend buying the 8th edition for a way cheaper price.

This review is from: Principles of Macroeconomics (Paperback)

I needed the combined version of Case Fair principles of economics 8th edition. I thought this paperback version of macro would be the same with less stuff I didn't need, but the chapters do not match the ones in the hardcover book.


other than that this is the most exciting economics book i have ever read - it is gripping!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Detailed & Informational, August 26, 2008

This review is from: Principles of Macroeconomics (Paperback)

This book is very detailed and does a good job in, in several areas, trying to put information in 'layman's terms. Some of the answers to the questions are in the back of the book which is helpful if you are completely stumped on a problem. I'm not a big MacroEcon fan and am really glad my class is over; this book, even with layman's terms, went far beyond into details that made my head hurt. (In a good way, I guess)
