Product Description

Mankiw's text covers the field of macroeconomics accessibly and concisely, emphasising the relevance of both its classical roots and its practice at the beginning of the 21st century. It is updated to deal with the economic slowdown of 2001, due to the end of the stock market boom and the events of September 11, which has again put business cycle theory centre stage.

Customer Reviews

Solid introduction to macroeconomics
This book provides a useful introduction to Macroeconomics for first year undergraduates. It is best used as a base to develop and intuition and feel for the subject, but is, on the whole, quite simplistic, and one should try to quickly move on to a more technical reading, such as Macroeconomics by Blanchard, which is more mathematical, and provides a better base for further study.
Has good sections on Economic Growth and open ecnomomy macroeconomics.
Recommended for those who want to avoid calculus and maths in general! Those with stronger mathematical skills may find it a bit frustrating.
