 I NEVER GOT MY BOOK September 28, 2008
THIS IS THE WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE RECIEVED ON AMAZON. I ORDERED MY BOOK ON AUGUST THE 24TH AND I NEVER RECIEVED THE BOOK UP TILL TODAY THE SEPTEMBER 29. I GOT A RESPONSE SAYING THE BOOK WILL ARIVE LATEST BY SEPTEMBER 19 AND APPARENTLY, ABDULIN DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TO TAKE CARE OF THE TRANSACTION. HE TOOK MY MONEY AND WENT OUT OF THE STATES WITHOUT PROCESSING MY ORDER. I EAS EXPECTING THE BOOK AT THE STATED DATE NOT KNOWING HE DID NOT EVEN CARE ABOUT PROCESSING THE ORDER. HE NEVER RESPONDED TO MY FIRST EMAIL. LATER THE WIFE HAVE TO INFORM ME THE HUSBAND HAS TRAVELLED OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND SHE THINKS THE BOOK IS GIVEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. MY MONEY IS STILL NOT BACK AND I NEVER GOT THE BOOK. THIS IS MY WORST EXPERIENCE EVER AT AMAZON AND I PROMISE NEVER TO ORDER BOOK FROM ABDULIN AGAIN, NEVER IN MY LIFE.

This seler is not reliable!!!! They charge you and make you wait for a long time, and then, they email you saying that they can't delivery the book!!!! There is a refund regarding the cash, but the time you waste with this transaction is worthless!!!!
Not the best for undergrad international economics November 23, 2004
As an instructor teaching an undergrad international economics, I used this textbook as designated reading for the class. There are several merits about this textbook: simplicity, tons of real-world examples, and plain description. Unfortunately, there are several disadvantages about this book that I can't stand:
1. Typos, there are many typos in this 9e. Some of them were even correctly printed on 8e.
2. Lack of econ models: I can see how difficult it is to write a realworld-oriented international econ textbook with more intuition and less intimidating math models. But what makes Economics different from other social science is the powerful models that give us insights and perspectives. Sometimes it is easier to understand the complicated international economics with some simple models. I don't think Carbaugh did a good job offering econ models at where we need most, especially in the balance of payment and government policies part. I can accept simple, intuitive explanation, but I cannot accept oversimplification.
3. Redundancy:
Carbaugh spend major part of the textbook talking about international trade but not enough on international finance. There are several topics in international trade that can be combined and some topics in international finance that can be elaborated more. But I think this is author's choice.
In conclusion, I think this is a good book if you want to have a general idea about international economics. But I won't recommend it for using in class simply becuase it raises more questions than it explains.

I had Dr Carbaugh as a student at UW Eau Claire, and enjoyed the clarity of his lectures. His book is nearly as good. My (first) edition is still worth consulting when I have the opportunity to teach econ.
Wonderful book, profound observations January 31, 2003

This book gave me a really deep understanding of international economics, markets and macroeconomics. However, material in this book requires knowledge of some economics basics
