okay book,

This review is from: Principles of Microeconomics (Available Titles Coursemate) (Paperback)
This book's lightweight and contains what you need for a typical econ course. Definitions are not brief or concise. They ARE lengthy. This book is great when supplemented by a college-level course but don't expect it to teach you microeconomis.Different editions are the practically the same thing (scam!), so buy the older edition if its cheaper and the professor is not too specific.

Best Microeconomics Textbook,

This review is from: Principles of Microeconomics (Available Titles Coursemate) (Paperback)
Greg Mankiw (Harvard University) is indeed one of the best writers when it comes to economics -- a fairly arcane and esoteric subject to most of the populace. Fortunately, Dr. Mankiw is able to break down the fundamental principles of macroeconomics and microeconomics in such a way that it becomes digestible to the average college-age reader. I would highly recommend this text book (as well as his other textbooks).

This review is from: Principles of Microeconomics (Available Titles Coursemate) (Paperback)
This book will help you appreciate current news on the Economy, leaving you with open questions wanting to know more. It helps you in your personal life, home economy of "your household", purchasing habits, and how not to spend while spending. It's not a book to carry around every where you go, but you can get a glimpse of world economies without getting upset, and come up with your personal solutions to improve your "personal economy", for example; "absolute advantage" and "comparative advantage" just might bring closer ties in family and friendships. My wife and her cousin learned this concep. They now bring home more groceries than the fridge can hold. Guys, it's not a lady thing either. Get the book, but don't trade it in! Keep it in your wallet! Chaplain Donald Perry, Dallas, TX
