Great for first timers to Macroeconomics

This was the course text for my class at NYU and the book did not dissapoint. All the key concepts were well described and I managed to read the text quite easily even though it was my introduction to Macroeconomics. The questions at the end of the chapters are good enough to keep your brain active. I can't complain.

A book with personality!

What a book! Just reading the introduction, I knew this was going to make learning macroeconomics much easier. The writer is a character and explains this to a T. Highly recommended!

Very interesting book

This is one of the most interesting books on macroeconomics at the undergraduate level. It differs from many other books in its emphasis on institutions and history. It is balanced on the role and impact of policy. It is also quite readable.

great book

This book was incredibly helpful in my macroeconomics studies, and was definitely the thing that contributed to my success in the course. I used it in my high school AP class, and it was not only easy to read but also very informative. It made it both fun and easy to learn the subject matter. The use of casual language, anecdotal evidence, and full explanations made the reading very understandable. Colander is a brilliant man and a professor at Middlebury College, where he is well-known for being an intelligent, fascinating, and great teacher. This excellent teaching is reflected in his writings, and I highly recommend this textbook.
