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.

Great Book - Samuelson and Nordhaus Are Awesome

This is a classic Macro text used for many Intro to Macro-Econ. I used a similiar text (many editions before) when I took my first econ class in college over 10 yrs ago.This is a great book, easy to understand and fluid reading.Thumbs Up!!!

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

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.
