Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This macroeconomics text is well known for using the Keynesian model in the teaching of economics; yet in recent editions, the authors have expanded coverage of the growth model considerably to achieve more balanced coverage. The text uses the aggregate supply/ aggregate demand model as a fundamental tool for learning macroeconomics. It achieves the right level of rigour and detail, presenting complicated concepts in a relatively straightforward manner and using timely economic data. Using puzzles, issues, and well-developed examples, the authors provide a good balance of theory to application. Homework Xpress and Aplia are available with the Anniversary Tenth Edition and two new sets of end of chapter questions have been added as well to help students prepare for exams: “Test Yourself” and “Discusion Questions”.

Stephen Marglin, the professor who came up with the idea to teach an alternative economic principles course at Harvard compared Greg Mankiw's popular textbook with the text by Blinder and Baumol (he was referring to their "Economics" but the same applies to "Macroeconomics"): "Baumol-Blinder is more nuanced and careful in its defense of the market". That is precisely true. This textbook gives you a conventional account of mainstream macroeconomics (as well as basic microeconomics) in a fairly nuanced manner (for a mainstream text). The main problem of the text is that it sometimes gets so long-winded, overly colorful and tedious that often one is better off just reading the summary in the end of the chapter.
Rated by buyers -
Economics by Baumol covers both micro and macro. Get that book, and you don't have to buy two books. Hint.
