McConnell and Brue’s Economics: Principles, Problems, and Policies is the leading Principles of Economics textbook because it is innovative and teaches students in a clear, unbiased way. The 17th Edition builds upon the tradition of leadership with three main goals: help the beginning student master the principles essential for understanding the economizing problem, specific economic issues, and the policy alternatives; help the student understand and apply the economic perspective and reason accurately and objectively about economic matters; and promote a lasting student interest in economics and the economy.

Good October 4, 2008
It's a good book. It has a good summary in each chapter. Great to study econ.
Book has been great so far. October 4, 2008
This book has been great so far. It's recommended for my econ 2301 course. We are delving into macroeconomics which is chapter 6. It's easy to understand. It's what's expected from your nornal textbook.
wonderful August 24, 2008
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3B73DORX59ZQM This is one of the better textbooks I have
on the subject. One will have to put the
time in but the book does a
good job explaining concepts.
If I may suggest something that
has helped my studies greatly, a little book called
Don't Like to Read, Then Don't, Listen!: How to
Turn Any Type of Text Into Audio Files That Can
Be Read to You!. I know that many students out
there are like me and would rather listen to
material than have to read it themselves. I use
programs like the one that is reading this review
to have my texts read to me. This is a god send
for me. One can get this title on amazon.
 boring and difficult to understand...Mankiw does a better job July 30, 2008

This book covers most of the stuff...but I would NOT recommend it...especially to beginners in Economics.
The book starts with basic micro, then jumps to macro in like 5 or 6 chapters. I didn't even want to read this thing...it is horrendously written, the examples are not that clear, and overall I just did not like it. I have the 16th edition, so maybe they improved a bit in the 17th, but I doubt by much anyway.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND N. GREGORY MANKIW's book
Principles of Economics, 4th Edition (Student Edition)
I LOVE THAT BOOK, IT IS MORE ENJOYABLE TO READ THAN A NOVEL!! (I am not kidding either, I learned so much from that book, it was so clear, easy to read, and was also in depth)
