I rented this rental textbook for a class and I'm learning a lot from it. This textbook adopts the "to-the-point" approach which stimulates the readers' reading incentive. Mankiw simplifies a complicated subject into an enjoyable read. It presented issues clearly and concisely. Its style is simple, direct, and conversational.
I'll recommend this book to anyone who thinks economics is boring.

I didn't know anything about macroeconomics before reading this book. Now I would consider myself an expert, probably even a genius. Chapter two on the general ideas of performance, structure, and behavior of the economy at large taught me a lot.

After reading this book, I now comprehend the causes and short-run fluctuations of national income, and the determinants of long-run economic growth. While the content was substantial, I didn't feel the graphics of this textbook aided in my learning.

After receiving my A in macroeconomics, I hope to receive a job as a macroeconomic model forecaster for a large corporation. I hope to assist in the development and evaluation of economic policy and business strategy.
