The 17th Edition builds upon the tradition of leadership with three main goals: help the beginning student master the principles essential for understanding the economizing problem, specific economic issues, and the policy alternatives; help the student understand and apply the economic perspective and reason accurately and objectively about economic matters; and promote a lasting student interest in economics and the economy.

 wonderful, 2008-08-24
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3B73DORX59ZQM This is one of the better textbooks I have
on the subject. One will have to put the
time in but the book does a
good job explaining concepts.
If I may suggest something that
has helped my studies greatly, a little book called
Don't Like to Read, Then Don't, Listen!: How to
Turn Any Type of Text Into Audio Files That Can
Be Read to You!. I know that many students out
there are like me and would rather listen to
material than have to read it themselves. I use
programs like the one that is reading this review
to have my texts read to me. This is a god send
for me. One can get this title on amazon.

 boring and difficult to understand...Mankiw does a better job, 2008-07-30
This book covers most of the stuff...but I would NOT recommend it...especially to beginners in Economics.
The book starts with basic micro, then jumps to macro in like 5 or 6 chapters. I didn't even want to read this thing...it is horrendously written, the examples are not that clear, and overall I just did not like it. I have the 16th edition, so maybe they improved a bit in the 17th, but I doubt by much anyway.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND N. GREGORY MANKIW's book
Principles of Economics, 4th Edition (Student Edition)
I LOVE THAT BOOK, IT IS MORE ENJOYABLE TO READ THAN A NOVEL!! (I am not kidding either, I learned so much from that book, it was so clear, easy to read, and was also in depth)

Economics 17th edition, 2008-03-07
I used this text in an Econ class last semester (my first in a few years) and this book was great. The summaries were helpful, there are several in each chapter instead of one at the end, that's very handy when you're looking for specific information. There are lots of charts to help with the formulas. My favorite areas included the chapters on Antitrust Policy and Regulation, Agriculture, Income Inequality, and the Costs of Production. Economics can be pretty dry subject matter, luckily I also had a lively instructor. Obviously as a student you don't get much say in which text you use, but this is a good one.
