User Reviews about Principles of Economics - 4th Edition (Student Edition)
This book was in much better condition than was stated. It also came a lot quicker than the estimated delivery described. Very pleased. -- Principles of Economics
Coming from an engineering background and with good knowledge of economics, I was hoping to find a more analytical and technically oriented textbook in Mankiw's Principles of Economics - more mathematical analyses and interesting conclusions deriving from solid theories. Instead, I find it oversimplifies highly complex issues and disregards some aspects of economics which are utterly important in a full economic evaluation. From my past experience as an engineering student and dozens of technical textbooks, this text "dumbs" down the student and leads one to "memorizing" methods in order to "understand" economic concepts. No space is left for interesting analysis involving more complex mathematical manipulations or the reader reaching new and different conclusions when compared to those exhibited in the text.As another reviewer has pointed out, not only does this seem written for high schoolers, but the complete lack of discussion concerning alternative economic theories makes this piece stand out as a free-market propaganda piece, where no government interference or interaction is the best course of "inaction" in free-market economies. Overall, it does introduce some interesting concepts in innovative ways but for someone who wants to deal with the finer aspects of and more mathematical approaches to economics I would not recommend this book. -- Technically disappointing
I cannot say that I have read too many economics textbooks, but I think that it would be pretty hard to find one that is better than this. This textbook is for the absolute beginner. No prior knowledge of economics is needed. The author starts from scratch and works his way up without assuming anything about the reader's knowledge. What's even more important is that this book is fun to read. This is one of those books that you actually find yourself reading to know more. Suddenly when you reach the end of the book you will be surprised at how easy and fun economics can be and this would encourage you to move on to heavier stuff. I used this book as a self-study guide and had no problems. The best textbooks are those that deliver the message by themselves, and this certainly applies to "The Principles of Economics". -- A must for beginners
