Product Description
These two highly-respected authors have revised this best-selling book to include more current, modern subject matter and events while maintaining those features that have contributed to its great success. It continues to use stories, graphs, and equations and a unified, logical organization to make economic concepts easy-to-understand and relevant to all readers. Users of this book see the connection between growth, trade, comparative advantage, and the production possibilities frontier. When readers understand how a simple competitive market system works, they are ready to focus on problems of real-world markets. Currency data has been updated, with coverage of deflation, the effects of the war with Iraq and the war on terrorism, and the wars' impact on the national deficit. A comprehensive overview introducing economics begins the book; subsequent topics include: foundations of microeconomics: consumers and firms; market imperfection and the role of government; concepts and problems in macroeconomics; the goods and money markets; macroeconomic analysis; and the world economy. An excellent desk reference for economists; this book will serve any business owner, as an understanding of basic economics will prove helpful in all ventures.

Good combo ( saxosus2 )
This review is for Principles of Economics (7th Edition). I actually bought this book instead of Principals of Macroeconomics which looks almost the same. After I received it, I realized it was the incorrect book. I went the publisher's website and did some research. This book includes all the information I needed for the Macro class. It also contains the full contents of both the publisher's Macro and Micro books. Turns out this book was a great book to keep for future references.
In addition to this being a great find, this book is very well written and I had no trouble understanding all the points.

 Student's opinion of this book ( impaintgirl )
From a first-time macroeconomic student's point of view, this book sucked. The glossary was very poor making it troublesome to look up unfamiliar terms. Each chapter makes frequent reference to charts and graphs that are located several pages away, causing you to have to shuffle back and forth between pages, trying to decipher difficult new concepts. This book also assumes some prior knowledge of economic concepts, and moves very quickly through progressively more complex material. Thumbs down from a new student's perspective.

Excellent book for economic students in their first year
This book presents and explains both Micro and Macro Theory in a very friendly way. It explains step by step the functions of the micro and macro theory and describes the fuctions of the instituions and organizations involve in the economy as a whole. It gives historical background, which many students look for in order to understand how? why? who? the study of economics. Besides it explains really well the economic terminology introduce as you read the book. Finally the book presents current event cases through the chapters which are related it to the ideas presented in the reading.
