  - principles of microecon. Sir Mankiw you are brilliantWhen i entered college i had no previous background of economics as i was a biology student,the only one in my batch.I was perturbed as to whether i would be able to understand college level eco but i was absolutely overwhelmed after studying this book.Kudos to Mankiw.It is extremely interesting as it is written in the form of a story.Cause of this i love econ...also hope to study under Mankiw later..a true inspiration.I reccomend this book to all econ starters.It is truly essential. Rating: - Its goodI like it becuase it is easy to use and has a website that goes along with it so that if you buy the book you gain access to the website for more information. Rating: - 5 stars relative to othersIt is not a perfect book, as I don't think there is one yet, but it is very good in explaining things. There are topics missing or that could be explored deeper/better/more accurately. And I also don't completely like the organization, but it is the best for students in general microeconomics course. If you are a business/econ/finance student, there are probably better books (I like hubbard/o'brien and krugman for these cases). Rating:  - Silberberg's 4th Edition much much betterThe 4th Edition of the Principles of Microeconomics by Eugene Silberberg, which I can't find on Amazon.com, is much much better at teaching the underlying issues. Mankiw can't resist interjecting personal political views (blatantly conservative) any chance he has. While Silberberg can hardly be classified as anything but conservative based on his writing, he emphasizes facts over politics, a lesson that Mankiw needs to learn. Rating:  - Principles of Microeconomics, 3rd Edition, by MankiwThis is an excellent high school level introduction to economics. It's an extremely easy read and does not tax the reader whatsoever. Speaking of taxes, behind the author's breezy prose is a very anti-government and anti-tax view, which works well in today's environment. There's not a single example of government doing anything right in this text. No "Harvard liberal" line here. It's hard to imagine using this book as a springboard to more substantive books, but one has to start somewhere. Excellent for what it is. |
