Review:
Microeconomics

This book, despite all its charts, diagrams and those algebra/calculus-looking formulas, which apparently is what economics supply/demand is all about, was easy to read, broken up well, and kept my interest despite this being for a class that was a necessity for my degree program. It was clear and you could apply what you learn from it in basic/general terms and concepts, or really get into tne nitty-gritty technicalities of the economic system if that's your thing!

 

Review:

Review:
Too simplistic to motivate individual learning

I can't believe how dumbed down this is. It's at least three times as dumbed down as our high school economics books here in Finland. You're supposed to have no background information, economical intuition or common sense.

Plus it explains economical concepts much like maths. The way it makes economics to be a precise science, even though much of it remains to be presented trough its biased sunglasses, is very misleading and even tiring if you're looking at it from the bigger picture instead of a memorization point of view. Actually learning it all must be like hell.

Much of what is written here in three pages you can figure out in a few moments if you actually bother to think for yourself. I don't know about you, but I'd prefer learning about economics in a more practical setting or from pop nonfiction books or whatever. Doing something like playing strategy games might help if you have no intuition whatsoever. (IndustryPlayer seems kind of interesting -- it actually attempts to teach business basics)

To me this all of this book just seems way too obvious considering it's college/university grade. It's great to exactify your economical thought a bit and be able to talk in the standardized concepts, but rather than memorizing what's basically common sense it'd be better to develop an understanding of these concepts and their roles in real life over time and much more painlessly. If you have no alternatives and this is seriously the best text book on the market and this is the standard way to learn, I'm sorry for bringing the ratings down, but to me personally it was pretty much useless.

In short, by being too simple, it makes learning economics harder than it actually is.

 

In writing this textbook, Mankiw has tried to put himself in the position of someone seeing economics for the first time. The author's conversational writing style is superb for presenting the politics and science of economic theories to tomorrow's decision-makers. Because Mankiw wrote it for the students, the book stands out among all other principles texts by encouraging students to apply an economic way of thinking in their daily lives. Receiving such a praise as "perhaps the best ever" textbook in economic principles, it's no wonder Mankiw's prize project has quickly become one of the most successful books ever to be published in the college marketplace.
