5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Well Done, March 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Principles of Macroeconomics (Paperback)

This book makes Economics extremely accessible -it was the first textbook I've ever encountered that was actually a "good read." Anyone taking an Intro Macroeconomics class should have a copy of this book (even if the course textbook is different). Extremely well written and clear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introductory text, August 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Principles of Macroeconomics (Paperback)

Very easy to read with lots of explanatory diagrams. Suitable for undergraduate studies or for students who are totally new to economics.

The text is partnered by a web-site which contains extra learning materials and multiple choice practice questions. Also, very handy.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is way too better than any other textbooks., June 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Principles of Macroeconomics (Paperback)

I have almost read this book for a few months. I dare to say this book is the most useful book in understanding modern macroeconomics. It presents not only very accurate theoretical bases but also many practical examples in policies.Besides, the edition is very good for reading.
