Perfect

Came just in time for classes. Didn't need to spend full price buying a new one!

School Book

Came in good condition. THis si for school, so the content of the book really doesn't matter much to me.

great book for starters in economic theory ,esp for students

It's a great book for first year business students and all those who want to learn something about basic principles of macroeconomics and the influence it has on everyday business activities

Excellent and focused!

this book focused on certain economics issue and is excellent for readers with an intermediate knowledge on macroeconomics. however it does not have much graphical explanations

A great introduction to macroeconomic theory

In comparison with other macroeconomic texts around it should get 5 stars. It starts with a historical perspective of the crisis in economics at the time of Keynes, setting the picture for why anyone bothered to invent macroeconomics in the first place. It then rapidly proceeds to introduce the major schools of macroeconomics and to develop the relevant ideas and models. It is an ideal introduction for the interested or serious student and manages to be exciting as well as fairly comprehensive. If you're taking an introductory macroeconomics course, get this book instead of your text. If you're coming from outside the economics profession and have a mind of your own, this ones for you.
