With its clear and engaging writing style, Principles of Economics (Sixth Edition) continues to be one of the most popular books on economics available today. Mankiw emphasizes material that you are likely to find interesting about the economy (particularly if you are studying economics for the first time), including real-life scenarios, useful facts, and the many ways economic concepts play a role in the decisions you make every day.
About This Edition
Principles of Economics (Sixth Edition) became a bestseller after its introduction and continues to be the most popular and widely used text in the economics classroom. Instructors found it the perfect complement to their teaching. A text by a superb writer and economist that stressed the most important concepts without overwhelming students with an excess of detail was a formula that was quickly imitated, but has yet to be matched. The sixth edition features a strong revision of content in all thirty-six chapters. Dozens of new applications emphasize the real-world relevance of economics for today's students through interesting news articles, realistic case studies, and engaging problems. The premier ancillary package is the most extensive in the industry, using a team of instructors and preparers who have been with the project since the first edition. The text material is again fully integrated into Aplia, the best-selling online homework solution.
"I have tried to put myself in the position of someone seeing economics for the first time. My goal is to emphasize the material that students should--and do--find interesting about the study of the economy." – N. Gregory Mankiw
New Features

Additional Features
Created by economist Ron Cronovich of Carthage College, Premium PowerPoint® Presentations feature chapter-by-chapter slides designed to ease educators' course preparation time while increasing student involvement in the classroom. The presentations organize lecture points into sections that students can easily digest, animate graphs the way instructors might draw them, and include "Student Note Prompt" handouts to facilitate effective note taking without distracting students from active participation in class.
"In the News" boxes include excerpts from many newspaper articles and encourage students to apply basic economic theory to discover how economics can provide an illuminating new perspective and enable greater understanding of world events.
"FYI" boxes provide additional material to expand key concepts and discussions by offering a glimpse into the history of economic thought, clarifying technical issues, and exploring supplementary topics you might choose to complement your core lectures.
Economic theory is most useful and interesting when applied to actual events and policies, which is why the text contains numerous Case Studies to vividly illustrate the real-world applications and consequences of key principles.
"Quick Quizzes" follow each major section to help students check their comprehension of what they just learned and to focus their review when preparing for exams.
Each chapter contains a variety of problems and applications that encourage students to apply the material they have learned. These practical, interesting activities serve equally well as homework assignments and starting points for lively classroom discussions.

首先得知曼昆的这套书,是2008年下半年,当时教我们《宏观经济学》的老师(也是我大学4年最喜欢的一个老师)在课堂上向我们大力推荐,当时应该出到了第4版,但我并没有放在心上。随后经常在大学门口的地摊上看到第4版的这两本书(估计是盗版),也没有对它正眼看待。直...
评分记得大一的某个晚上,我在宿舍旁的小破食堂排队打菜,同学咽着口水望着咕咾肉,然后突然问了个很白痴的问题,,,你说为什么肉比菜贵啊,,,但是更白痴的我在骂完他白痴以后只好一起挠头,,, 当时出现在我脑海里的是一边看小说一边上的马克思主义经济学课,里面好像提到说...
评分 评分我两年前读过此书的第二版。 也试着读过萨缪尔森和斯蒂格利茨的经济学教科书。但不得不承认,我还是觉得曼昆的比较好读。作为非此专业的爱好者,前两种教科书也可以读下去,但需要用学习的意志强迫自己。曼昆的这本书则不同,很吸引人。 尤其是梁小民的翻译很精彩。梁小民的很...
评分尽管我是工科毕业的,而且没有任何经济基础竟然看得懂。个人觉得这本书讲的很是精辟,只看了两章就深受启发,举个例子经常看新闻的人可能会注意到我国新闻联播每次报道国内每年的大学生就业招聘时常说“今年为应届大学毕业生提供了多少就业岗位”而报道美国失业率时会说“美国...
a good bedtime read. Mostly basic stuff. Gets interesting in the last few chapters. But overall a very clear and readable textbook
评分教科书
评分花了一个多月读万近900页巨著。英文阅读水平稍微有点提高。曼昆作为凯恩斯主义经济学家,这本精心写作的大部头真的是经济学入门最经典的书。
评分磕磕绊绊终于读完了,都是基础内容,很完整系统。简单的模型,稍微有些脱离实际。但是举的例子都比较符合当前的情况,蛮好的。
评分终于看完了!!!咱的经济老师太不靠谱了,还是自学清楚啊
