A page turner to the very end. As someone who never took economics in college, I found this book enlightening and fulfilling. It uses a lot of charts and diagrams which were pretty cool. Only drawback was that it's a bit dated. A must-read for anyone trying to make sense of the current global crises and monetary policies being thrown around.

Miller writes a good introductory Macroeconomics textbook. It covers the more recent developments in economic theory since the 1970s and 1980s.

i don't recommend this for feminists.
i read fourth edition of this book, it was great. However, information was little outdated, you can see from the first paragraph. but theories and techniques is great and easy to learn

Does the job. The disk is as useful as textbook disks can be. The pain! The agony! Economics can be as fun as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick! Who am I kidding, it's been 3 years since I had this course and I have no idea what I learned in it. The cover is pretty, though.
