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.

评分比较适合初学者,是不错的经济学入门教材 微观经济学和宏观经济学的基本原理都维伟道来 曼昆的书有很多生动的例子 不像中国人写书的那样 大段大段的理论 一二三四 老是前苏联教条的那一套 真是迂腐的不可改变 总之不错 我大二就用这个作为教材的 http://www.douban.com/people...

这本书的内容实在太丰富了,涵盖的知识点非常广阔。我原本以为这会是一本只讨论市场经济的书,但它却深入探讨了包括公共物品、外部性、信息不对称等一系列与社会运行息息相关的经济学议题。作者在讲解这些复杂概念时,并没有让它们显得晦涩难懂,而是通过大量的案例分析,生动地展示了这些经济学原理是如何在现实世界中发挥作用的。我尤其被书中关于“市场失灵”的章节所吸引,它让我理解了为什么在某些情况下,自由市场并不能达到最优的资源配置,以及政府在这些情况下所扮演的角色。同时,它也让我对各种经济政策的出台有了更深的理解。这本书让我看到,经济学并不仅仅是关于金钱和利润,更是关于如何更有效地利用稀缺资源,如何构建一个更公平、更有效的社会。它拓展了我的视野,让我认识到经济学在解决社会问题中的巨大潜力。这本书的内容深度和广度都令人印象深刻,是一本值得反复阅读的佳作。
评分这本书简直是经济学入门的圣经!我一直对经济学充满了好奇,但又觉得它枯燥乏味,充满了各种抽象的概念和复杂的公式。直到我翻开《Principles of Economics》,我的看法彻底被颠覆了。作者以一种极其生动有趣的方式,将经济学原理娓娓道来,仿佛在讲一个关于我们日常生活的精彩故事。从最基础的供需关系,到更深层次的宏观经济调控,每一个概念都被解释得清晰透彻,而且总是与现实生活中的例子紧密结合。我最喜欢的地方在于,它并没有简单地罗列理论,而是深入浅出地探讨了这些理论如何影响着我们的决策,以及我们周围的世界是如何围绕着经济规律运转的。阅读过程中,我常常会恍然大悟,原来那些我习以为常的生活现象背后,竟然蕴含着如此深刻的经济学道理。比如,为什么某个商品价格会上涨,为什么某些行业会蓬勃发展,又为什么政府会出台某些政策,这些问题在这本书里都得到了令人信服的解答。它不仅仅是一本教科书,更像是一位循循善诱的导师,引导我一步步揭开经济学的神秘面纱,让我对这个世界有了更深刻的理解。我真的非常推荐这本书给任何想要了解经济学,或者仅仅是对身边发生的事情感到好奇的人。
评分这本书带给我一种前所未有的智力上的挑战和满足感。它并非那种轻松愉悦的读物,更像是一次严谨而深刻的学术探索。作者在讲解经济学原理时,毫不回避其复杂性和严谨性,而是直接进入核心概念,并用精确的语言进行论述。对于有一定经济学基础的读者来说,这本书无疑是一次宝贵的财富。它帮助我系统地梳理了经济学的基本框架,从微观经济学的理性人假设,到宏观经济学的国民收入核算,每一个章节都层层递进,构建起一个逻辑严密的知识体系。我尤其欣赏书中对各种经济模型和理论的深入分析,以及对不同学派观点的客观呈现。它鼓励我独立思考,质疑既有的结论,并尝试从不同的角度去审视经济问题。阅读过程中,我常常需要反复咀嚼,对照自己已有的知识,甚至需要查阅一些相关的资料来加深理解。这种挑战性的阅读体验,反而让我收获了更多。它让我认识到,经济学并非简单的“价格上涨”、“经济增长”这样直观的表述,而是建立在一系列精密的理论和分析工具之上。这本书让我看到了经济学严谨、科学的一面,也让我对其在解决实际问题中的重要作用有了更深刻的认识。
评分从纯粹的学术角度来看,这本书是一部非常扎实的著作。作者在学术上的严谨性毋庸置疑,他对经济学原理的阐述,无论是在理论深度还是在逻辑严密性上,都达到了相当高的水平。书中引用的参考文献和理论基础都十分扎实,能够让读者感受到其学术根基的深厚。我特别欣赏作者在分析问题时所采用的批判性思维,他不仅仅是陈述理论,更是对现有理论进行了深入的剖析和探讨,甚至会指出一些理论的局限性。对于那些希望在经济学领域进行更深入研究的学者和学生来说,这本书无疑提供了一个非常好的起点。它为理解更复杂的经济模型和理论打下了坚实的基础。在阅读过程中,我常常会发现自己以前对某些概念的理解不够深入,需要回过头来重新审视。这本书就像一座宝库,每一次翻阅都能发现新的价值。它不仅仅是知识的传授,更是思维方式的训练,让我在面对经济问题时,能够更加理性、更有条理地进行分析。
评分不得不说,这本书在一定程度上刷新了我对经济学的刻板印象。我之前一直觉得经济学是那些西装革履的金融精英们才需要关注的学科,离我的日常生活太遥远了。但《Principles of Economics》完全打破了我的这种想法。它以一种极其贴近生活的方式,将经济学最核心的原理展现在我眼前。从我每天购物的选择,到我如何规划我的收入和支出,再到社会上的各种就业和创业现象,作者都能巧妙地将它们与经济学理论联系起来。我印象最深刻的是关于“机会成本”的解释,这个概念听起来可能有些抽象,但作者通过一些非常生活化的例子,比如选择学习还是打工,或者选择购买一件衣服还是存钱,让我立刻理解了这个概念的实际意义。这本书让我意识到,经济学无处不在,它影响着我们的每一个决策,也塑造着我们所处的社会。我不再觉得经济学是高高在上的学科,而是成为了我理解世界、做出更好选择的有力工具。它让我能够更理性地分析问题,更好地权衡利弊,也让我对未来的规划有了更清晰的思路。
