I have other e-books that are great because they looks exactly like the original copy. I wish this e-book looked exactly like the hard copy of the book. The page numbers are ridiculous. It doesn't even follow the original hard copy, which makes it hard to follow my professor when he tells the class to turn to a certain page. If i could return this I would. I would spend the extra dollar amount for the hard copy instead of this.
One good thing about this book that I liked was how quickly it arrived. It was perfectly fine until I went to read the parts required for my class and a couple of chapters were missing. This was a bummer because the chapter that was missing was very important for my class work. Although it was missing a couple chapters, it was a lot cheaper than the price my school bookstore was offering.
Mankiw gives us an interesting book of economics in a practical, down to earth way filled with real life cases and situations and many other tools to reinforce what is being learned from the book. You can't go wrong with this book if you want to study basic principals of economics for the first time and principals of macroeconomics. It's a more comfortable and fluent read compared to other books. The amount of information per unit and theme is just right. It has met and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this book!
This is a great textbook that really undermines the key macro-economic principles. I'm passing my Macro-Economics class with flying colors thanks to it, and even if this isn't the designated textbook for your class, I highly recommend getting it anyways because the information is so easy to understand so valuable.
I enjoyed this book very much. It was interesting, informative and had some great detail about global economics. It could have used some cartoons to jazz it up a bit.
Greg's analogies in Chapters 1 and 2 were frustrating. He picks up the pace from Chapter 4. I loved his discussion about government policy and the U.S. government debt in Chapter 8.
The textbook was good and useful for my course. I would like to have someone buy it from me, but anyways I recommend it for anyone studying basic macroeconomics.
I needed this book for my econ class. The bookstore at my college wanted $204! As you can tell, this was a MUCH better price. Very happy and would buy again!
