I have been reading your book and I must say I am most impressed. The layout is clear, the examples good but the writing is great! It is clear, concise, logical and interesting. I have to say I found it good reading. Congratulations.
Love Mum.
If you are interested in a review less tangled with the bonds of affection, Robert Whaples is teaching his principles of economics class using a pre-pub version of our textbook (micro and macro; fyi, more on micro in a few weeks) and he is is blogging his thoughts as he covers each chapter. Whaples conveys the flavor of our book very well.
I used the macro textbook for a three-week intersession course in August. I’ve taught macro in three weeks before, but this was by far my best experience teaching it. I found students were able to get the intuition behind this model much better than the Keynesian model I used to use, and by the end of the course they were asking very good questions about macro and current events.
I don’t think I’ll be going back to any other text.
I read the FT weekend interview of Nick Hornby written by Lucy Kellaway. Hornby says he reads all the reviews (or has someone report them to him) but he only remembers the negative ones. Human nature? Nice to have a loving mum, Alex
I would be interested in reading “Modern Principles. But I just can’t get past the fact that last year, you guys encouraged Libertarians to vote for Obama.
Why should I trust your opinions on any subject especially economics if you actually thought voting for a man who had no governing or business experience and little legislative experience should be elected the leader of the free world?
Maybe I missed the post where you guys said the kool aid was out of your system.
