The Economist August 23rd 1997
"Mr Mankiw has produced something long overdue: an accessible introduction to modern economics. By writing more in the style of a magazine than a stodgy textbook and explaining even complex ideas in an intuitive, concise way, he'll leave few students bored or bewildered. A second innovation is the book's structure and emphasis, which reflects today's economic realities and economists' understanding. Most refreshing, though, is the book's even-handedness. Mr Mankiw seems to revel in setting out how different schools of thought have contributed to economists' current state of knowledge. If, as it deserves, it becomes popular with the millions of students who take introductory economics, tomorrow's graduates might not only understand economics. They might even enjoy it."
The Wall Street Journal September 22nd 1997
"Professor Mankiw wins good reviews for clarity and readability."
USA Today December 1st 1997
"...I must report that Mankiw's Principles of Economics is a grand success...Mankiw succeeds because he does not evade the difficult concepts required for a solid understanding of economics."
Fortune November 24th 1997

本来只是为了应付考试才去图书馆借的 结果中文版给借完了 所以迫不得已拿了本原版的 现在觉得很庆幸 只有看原版才能感受到这本教材的亲和力 无论是多么高明的经济学...
非常丢脸,这本来应该是我的入门指导,却在离开校门之后才拿起来。 希望硕士课程前可以顺利看完。 绝对是所有非科班出身者和数学基础较差人士的首选。
曾经只是对经济有点兴趣。。。 后来在图书馆无意间看到这本书,翻了翻,顿生好感。。。可是因为原版书的借书卡掉了,我忙着找遍所有的人去借这本书,可是那晚没有成...
