somewhat nuanced but long-winded June 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.

Economics by Baumol covers both micro and macro. Get that book, and you don't have to buy two books. Hint.
