When I brought this home, my MBA-studying boyfriend flipped out with glee, like a dog around bacon. Paul Krugman!!!!! He's the best!!!

Same deal as the micro text: Probably as enjoyable as an econ textbook can be. I really enjoyed all the real world stories and examples.

Offers insight into basic modern macroeconomics. Not cluttered with excessive mathematics and provides an abundance of case studies. There is room for more theoretical foundations, but overall, I liked it.

an absolute nightmare of a textbook but that's probably because of my severe disdain for economics.

We were prescribed this text for university-level economics. I would not recommend it for final year high-school economics either. While the substance and material the book entails is okay, it is a cumbersome read laden with an overabundance of case studies and a severe dearth of theory. Furthermore the language of the book (for a university text) is rather half hearted. The writers may suddenly refer to "things" or "stuff" leaving the reader scratching his head on what the writers meant by the vague terms. Did they mean investment? Savings? Capital? Heaven knows.

I was thoroughly disappointed with this text. It should be used for introductory level economics at best.

I had to read this book for my introduction to macroeconomics course and I really enjoyed it. I feel it helped me a lot and Krugman's writing is very engaging, so much so I didn't feel I was studying. It's also very easy to follow if you're paying attention (which some of my friends from the same course had trouble doing) and not too overwhelming for an undergraduate in her first semester in university.
I highly recommend this if you're taking a macroeconomics class or if you're just interested in learning more about the subject.

Makro iktisadı anlamak için rehber niteliğinde bir kitap. Günümüzde ekonominin yaşadığı değişimi felsefi boyutta açıklamaktan uzak olsa da, ekonomi alanında benim gibi teknik bilgisi az olan okurlar için güzel bir kitap.

This textbook helped me understand interest rates, inflation, and currency exchange stuff. It's a bit dense (it's a textbook!) but interesting, and it's broken up nicely with real world examples.

Paper book, available for borrowing.

good

Had to read for my macroeconomics class. Very interesting.

This one of the best materials I accessed during my course
