Microeconomics

by David Colander

Written in an informal colloquial style, this student-friendly Principles of Microeconomics textbook does not sacrifice intellectual depth in its quest for accessibility. The author’s primary concern is to instill “economic sensibility” in the student. Colander emphasizes the intellectual and historical context to which the economic models are applied. The seventh edition has been significantly revised to make it simpler, shorter, more organized and more applicable to the real world.

I had to read this book for my first Summer semester course toward my major. It's certainly not something I would recommend for pleasure; however, if that's what you're into, then by all means go crazy! I do want to add that it was great book to assist in the understanding microeconomics. It made a difficult topic easier to understand.

He started out by stating that this book was expensive, but by the end of the book the reader would under it would be worth it.

It was not. It was over priced and all the information can be gotten elsewhere for significantly less money. His explanations where average.

I read this textbook for microeconomics this semester. The general style of the textbook was kinda strange. I felt like the author thinks he’s hilarious and really is not.

Easy introduction to macroeconomics, especially sheds light on US financial crisis
