The authors don't know how to explain the theories in a easier way, on the contrary, they try to confuse you as much as they can. They also have all sorts of stupid examples which have nothing to do with reality. They are theorists, not good writers!There are also many mistakes in the book. not too professional.If your university requires this book, you do not have a chooose, but it is not a good one.4) Principles of Macroeconomics [Rating: 5 out of 5]
