Product Description:
Written in an informal colloquial style, this student-friendly Principles of Macroeconomics textbook does not sacrifice intellectual depth in its quest for accessibility. The author’s primary concern is to instill “economic sensibility” in the student. Colander emphasizes the intellectual and historical context to which the economic models are applied. This new edition offers improvements to this established and respected text including special Questions from Alternate Perspectives end-of-chapter questions that facilitate class discussion of differing schools of thought in the discipline, and access to over 250 minutes of new videos from Paul Solman of the Lehrer NewsHour.

Rating:  - very frustrating experience
I used this book for 2 semesters starting my teaching career as a TA, and I was very dissatisfied with this book. I have too much to say about it, so I would rather stop now. Will be back with more details on this product.
