Product Description In writing this textbook, Mankiw has tried to put himself in the position of someone seeing economics for the first time. The authors conversational writing style is superb for presenting the politics and science of economic theories to tomorrows decision-makers. Because Mankiw wrote it for the students, the book stands out among all other principle texts by intriguing students to apply an economic way of thinking in their daily lives. Receiving such a praise as "perhaps the best ever" textbook in economic principles, its no wonder Mankiws prize project has quickly become one of the most successful books ever to be published in the college marketplace. | ||

Awesom review This book was right on point...before I chose this book, I was concerned if it had everything that I needed and it did. I was also impressed with the condition of the book. So going forward, I will be ordering all of my text books from Amazon. Monique Prescott | ||
Never arrived I ordered this book from the seller and it never arrived even though the seller charged my account. | ||
Not my best pick for an Economics book but it was required Economics is a necessary part of business and for people to just plain understand how money and supply and demand work.Whoever said Economics was fun is plain wrong. While this was required reading for college I did find the information difficult to understand, but I am no economics major either. | ||
Good Introduction This is one of the better books I have seen in economics. It is an excellent introduction to the field. It is comprehensive with very useful case studies from the real world. If I want to break the review down to the two main parts of the book, I would give 4.5 stars to the micro part and 3 stars to the macro part. However, I am not aware of any good book on macroeconomics. I think most authors (or maybe all of them) just don't have a deep understanding of macroeconomics. Albert Einstein once said "if you can't explain an idea to a 6-year-old, then you don't understand that idea." So, given the lack of better books, I would recommend this one as your starting point in economics. | ||
Microeconomics This book, despite all its charts, diagrams and those algebra/calculus-looking formulas, which apparently is what economics supply/demand is all about, was easy to read, broken up well, and kept my interest despite this being for a class that was a necessity for my degree program. It was clear and you could apply what you learn from it in basic/general terms and concepts, or really get into tne nitty-gritty technicalities of the economic system if that's your thing! | ||
