Surprisingly clear; relatively helpful. The only way I can imagine any major economics textbook actually being of use is if the professor holds to the textbook incredibly tightly; mine did not, which is totally fair. Minus the whole thing about this being a brand new edition that we *must* have.

Jones writes very clearly and manages to make all the topics interesting. The chapter on Romer's model of idea-based growth was really beautiful.

I liked this author. I felt he did well in staying unbiased on the controversial issues (like the Great Recession), was very good with explaining the various concepts. I would recommend this book, or a book by this author for future economics classes.

This is a pretty good book at explaining the theory behind macro, but I don't think it does a good job with the math part of things. There are also limited examples, and answers.

One of the more interesting textbooks I've had to read.
