With its clear and engaging writing style, Principles of Economics (Sixth Edition) continues to be one of the most popular books on economics available today. Mankiw emphasizes material that you are likely to find interesting about the economy (particularly if you are studying economics for the first time), including real-life scenarios, useful facts, and the many ways economic concepts play a role in the decisions you make every day.

About This Edition

Principles of Economics (Sixth Edition) became a bestseller after its introduction and continues to be the most popular and widely used text in the economics classroom. Instructors found it the perfect complement to their teaching. A text by a superb writer and economist that stressed the most important concepts without overwhelming students with an excess of detail was a formula that was quickly imitated, but has yet to be matched. The sixth edition features a strong revision of content in all thirty-six chapters. Dozens of new applications emphasize the real-world relevance of economics for today's students through interesting news articles, realistic case studies, and engaging problems. The premier ancillary package is the most extensive in the industry, using a team of instructors and preparers who have been with the project since the first edition. The text material is again fully integrated into Aplia, the best-selling online homework solution.

"I have tried to put myself in the position of someone seeing economics for the first time. My goal is to emphasize the material that students should--and do--find interesting about the study of the economy." – N. Gregory Mankiw

New Features

The new, sixth edition of Principles of Economics contains extensively updated coverage of areas impacted by the financial crisis.

The sixth edition will be available with the most advanced new products for student and instructor choice, engagement, and outcomes.

New "Problems and Applications" appear throughout the sixth edition, providing an effective, integrated way for students to assess their mastery of the material and to review more efficiently for assignments and exams.

Additional Features

Created by economist Ron Cronovich of Carthage College, Premium PowerPoint^® Presentations feature chapter-by-chapter slides designed to ease educators' course preparation time while increasing student involvement in the classroom. The presentations organize lecture points into sections that students can easily digest, animate graphs the way instructors might draw them, and include "Student Note Prompt" handouts to facilitate effective note taking without distracting students from active participation in class.

"In the News" boxes include excerpts from many newspaper articles and encourage students to apply basic economic theory to discover how economics can provide an illuminating new perspective and enable greater understanding of world events.

"FYI" boxes provide additional material to expand key concepts and discussions by offering a glimpse into the history of economic thought, clarifying technical issues, and exploring supplementary topics you might choose to complement your core lectures.

Economic theory is most useful and interesting when applied to actual events and policies, which is why the text contains numerous Case Studies to vividly illustrate the real-world applications and consequences of key principles.

"Quick Quizzes" follow each major section to help students check their comprehension of what they just learned and to focus their review when preparing for exams.

Each chapter contains a variety of problems and applications that encourage students to apply the material they have learned. These practical, interesting activities serve equally well as homework assignments and starting points for lively classroom discussions.

Editorial Reviews

Review

�I think it is more reader friendly than other texts. In addition, it uses both numeric and/or graphical examples, which is very useful for the students.�

�We used to use Case and Fair�s text. Mankiw seems to be a better text because it actually follows through with giving applications to what he includes in the book. For example, there is much better material in Mankiw about consumer surplus, producer surplus, government policies and interventions in the market.�

�Very student friendly text. Makes economics easy to understand. Some of the other texts would take a lot of reading to explain an idea.�

I took microeconomics from one of Greg's former colleagues at UW-Madison and this book is very unbiased, doesn't tell you how to form your normative views, and is extremely user friendly. I am an engineer and took this class for fun my last semester and it was probably the most interesting class I ever took in college.

Which one of Gregory Mankiw's Economics books suit you best?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

Gregory Mankiw is one of the greatest Economists of our times.
He cheekily increased the number of his book titles by just re-arranging the same stuff and chapters from one main book.
These books are:
1- Economics: contains everything. Has chapters on basics + Microeconomics + Macroeconomics. It comes in both hardback and a much cheaper softback.
2- Principles of Economics: The paperback "Principles of Economics" is 95% cheaper and 95% the size of the paperback "Economics". I compared "Economics" 908 pages to "Principles of Economics" 862 pages and found them to have exactly the same skeleton and chapters, albeit "Principles of Economics" seemed to be a slightly "revised" version of "Economics", with somewhat clearer and more accurately descriptive phrases and many mistakes corrected. However, and probably to justify the slightly more expensive "Economics", he removed a few less important paragraphs. On balance, I personally prefer "Principles of Economics". So does Gregory Mankiw, who declares it as his favourite book on his website.
3- Macroeconomics: Is exactly the same as "Principles of economics" MINUS Microeconomics chapters.
4- Microeconomics: Is exactly the same as "Principles of economics" MINUS Macroeconomics chapters.

MALA

Reviewed in Spain on September 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

El libro no ha llegado en condiciones óptimas: algunas páginas pintadas en el pie de página, otras manchadas, el lomo del libro con algunas arrugas y manchas más claras, esquinas dobladas, números escritos a bolígrafo en la esquina superior derecha y pegatinas para tapar tachones de rotulador negro tanto en la esquina inferior izquierda de la parte delantera como en toda la parte de abajo de la trasera. Dichos tachones ocultaban prohibiciones de venta del libro fuera de la India o Pakistán y el código de barras e ISBN. La foto no concuerda con el original (distinta portada y no es la international edition), impresión de páginas en blanco y negro y precio demasiado alto para las condiciones del producto. Lo único bueno: el contenido del libro. Me siento engañado y defraudado.

Übersichtlich, informativ – Beispiele kommen aus dem mitte-rechts Lager

Reviewed in Germany on October 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

Das Buch von Mankiw ist übersichtlich gestaltet, sehr informativ und enthält viele gute Übungen zur Vorbereitung auf Prüfungen. Allerdings sind einige Beispiele in dem Buch etwas fragwürdig formuliert und lassen mitunter auf eine im politischen Spektrum eher rechts von der Mitte angesiedelte Positionierung des Autors rückschließen. Das finde ich bei einem Lehrbuch schwierig – allerdings wird das Buch leider weiterhin an vielen Universitäten verwendet. Der Lernerfolg ist mit diesem Buch jedoch sehr wahrscheinlich.

The most enjoyable nonfiction book I have read in my life.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

Currently, there is no "LOOK INSIDE" for this book. However, you will be able to see one in the much more expensive hardback of this book.

At the end of this review, I am explaining the subtle differences in Mankiw's books, so that you can decide which one is best for you. The bottom line, as you will see, is, buy this one.

My profession has nothing much to do with Economics.
Just like any average soul, I used get on with life just like everyone, not caring or be bothered about science of economics at all.
So, in 1988, when I got an Economics textbook bundled with several other books and novels, I left it untouched for quite some time.
Out of boredom, I grabbed it one day and started looking.
I was hooked and finished all within a few days.
Enjoyed every minute.
Sadly, I must have thrown the book away (or lost it) and when I recently wanted, could not remember the name of author or title.
In 2010, I had some spare time and thought that reading an updated edition of that wonderful Economics book would be a great idea.
Thinking that it could only have been this book, I bought the Lipsey and Chrystal's Economics 2007 11th edition.
Because, at the time, it was one of the most popular Economics book in the Amazon Feedback, I felt certain that it would turn to be that wonderful book that I read in 1988.
I started reading it with great enthusiasm, only to find myself feeling regularly depressed every time I read anything.
I abandoned it after reading less than a quarter of the book.
Recently, I was browsing on Amazon and found "LOOK INSIDE" available for the more expensive hardback of "Principles of Economics by Gregory Mankiw 6th edition".
As I was reading some of the "LOOK INSIDE" text, many phrases brought on memories of that wonderful book I read in 1988.
At last, I found it.
This was then bought at once (the much cheaper paperback of course, which sadly, has no LOOK INSIDE facility yet)
So far, and in 3 days reading, I am about to reach page 600 (out of 850) and probably lost a few pounds of weight, because I am so involved that I keep forgeting to eat.
I find myself rushing home, finish all necessary stuff and sit to read the book.
I keep looking forward to sit and read.
Sadly, I will be finishing it soon.

Gregory Mankiw is one of the greatest Economists of our times.
has many "related" books on Economics.
If you ignore titles and look into some of these books, you will find out that he cheekily increased the number of his book titles by just re-arranging the same stuff and chapters from one main book.
