Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - boring and difficult to understand...Mankiw does a better job
This book covers most of the stuff...but I would NOT recommend it...especially to beginners in Economics.
The book starts with basic micro, then jumps to macro in like 5 or 6 chapters. I didn't even want to read this thing...it is horrendously written, the examples are not that clear, and overall I just did not like it. I have the 16th edition, so maybe they improved a bit in the 17th, but I doubt by much anyway.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND N. GREGORY MANKIW's book

Economics can be pretty dry subject matter, luckily I also had ... Read More
Rating: - Generally awful, saved by summaries
If you have the misfortune of being assigned this book, I feel for you. The book is filled with needlessly complicated explanations, some of which don't contribute anything to the subject. The authors love to interrupt sentences with variables and equations that could have been saved for information boxes.
The only thing that made this book tolerable is that figure captions and summaries were left to a competent editor. The book could be cut in half with a sufficiently critical editing ... Read More
