I prefer the Samuelson Economics book over this one. But Colander's Macroeconomics came through for me too. It's more graphic.

I really like this book because of graphic content

Okay, freaking boring book, but actually learned quite a bit, especially during these hard economic times. More economic concepts make sense and I find it great that I can understand more of what is happening and why. So, despite boring, it taught me some stuff. Yeah for school.

Considering that I HAD to read this, I was pleasantly surprised at what a smooth read this was. Instead of super dry, dreaded reading for class, the author wrote with a sense of humor, as well as reality.

This is one of the best textbooks I have had to read.
