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

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.
无论哪个大学的地摊上,有两种非考级、考研类盗版书是必备的。一是标准日本语,一是经济学原理。 虽然四六级乃至整个中国的外语(英语)教育一直为人诟病,但对于学好外语,大部分人其实报有很大热情。一个人其他的东西一无是处,只要精通外语的话,还是会被列入牛人的行列。...

評分内容:★★★★★ 翻译:★★★★★ 排印:★★★★☆ 装帧:★★★☆☆ 在没有系统地接触经济学以前,喜欢哲学和宗教。这两个学科如果学个半瓶子醋,就容易走向理想主义的极端,习惯拿最高标准来评判人、事、物。但这个世界不是完美的,因此,最终由理想主义滑落为悲观主...
評分今年的最大的收获之一是看完了曼昆的“经济学原理”,最早听说这套书是本科时期人大毕业的老师推荐的,这位老师在“马克思主义哲学”的课堂上将马克思主义哲学批判的一文不值,而且还找到了理论根据,“实事求是是马克思主义哲学的精髓,只有真正坚持实事求是,对马克思...
