Inevitably, some chapters assume that you learned the previous material (S&D, or AS/AD). I particularly like the 'Heads Up' section, which accurately points out the most common mistakes that undergraduates make.ĪS/AD is introduced early in the macroeconomic section and is used in later chapters.Īrranged usefully into relatively short chapters. Most won't go out of date, but for a few you notice their age. Includes specific examples from the news. Does a good job with the GDP measurement problems. This book covers everything I do in Principles, plus some things I would like to include if I had time.
