Probably one of my least favorite books. While it was interesting learning about markets, the economy and all the factors that contribute to supply and demand in this country...the way in which it was written was NOT introductory level. Granted, that may not be the authors fault this book was selected for an introductory course in macroeconomics but the jargon and industry terminology used in the book were extremely difficult to understand in some parts. I did not really enjoy the class or the book, even though I learned a little. Would've preferred a lot more explanations and references, less graphs.

A textbook. Not much to say.

Examples all from pre-2001 (and it used a lot of examples)... decent intro to the field though.
