Summary
This title is a Pearson Global Edition。 The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States。 For intermediate courses in economics。 A unified view of the latest macroeconomic eventsIn Macroeconomics， Blanchard presents an integrated， global view of macroeconomics， enabling students to see the connections between goods markets， financial markets， and labor markets worldwide。 Organized into two parts， the text contains a core section that focuses on short-，medium-， and long-run markets and two major extensions that offer more in-depth coverage ofthe issues at hand。 From the major economic crisis that engulfed the world in the late 2000s， to monetary policy in the US， to the problems of the Euro area， and growth in China， the text helps students make sense not only of current macroeconomic events but also of those that may unfold in the future。 Integrated， detailed boxes in the 8th Edition have been updated to convey the life of macroeconomics today， reinforce lessons from the models， and help students employ and develop their analytical and evaluative skills。

Ain’t no way I’m crying myself to sleep over this book and not counting it towards my reading goal。 Objectively speaking: 4 stars - it’s a good textbook。 Emotionally speaking: 0 stars - gave me multiple breakdowns。

Bit neoclassical heavy but no other general macro textbook seems to stand up to it， particularly no heterodox alternatives to balance and/or merge schools of thought （that I'm aware of at least）。 Oh and its material is quite 'elegant'， I guess :） Bit neoclassical heavy but no other general macro textbook seems to stand up to it， particularly no heterodox alternatives to balance and/or merge schools of thought （that I'm aware of at least）。 Oh and its material is quite 'elegant'， I guess :） 。。。more

Such an explanatory book about the basics of Macroeconomics。 The readers can find the research topics in 3-layer: the short， medium and long run。 The IS-LM Model and AS-AD Curves are well explained and summarized with more graphs （ even though fewer maths）。At the end of every chapter， the reader can find a summary of the topic which is very helpful。 （considered a huge amount of repetitions in the book）

All in all a well written book about macroeconomics for beginners。 The author refers to current and major events which makes the concepts clearer。 A major downside is the necessity to buy the （expensive） book or an （even more expensive） access code in order to get the solutions for the questions at the end of each chapter。

A canonical textbook that is probably one of the best out there on the subject。 The author elucidates all relevant concepts with a clarity that makes the materials so transparent to beginners， but also with insights that really help readers connect theories and concepts to what they read in the news every day。

A good intermediate level book on macro。 Contains lots of real-world data that supports models of inflation， growth， monetary and fiscal policies etc。 Numerous examples from the recent crises。 Sometimes I had a feeling that the 500 pages of the book could actually be fit into 100-150 pages。 For example， the author spends several pages explaining optimal consumption/investment problems – something that could be easily described in several sentences by using dynamic programming （or by referring to A good intermediate level book on macro。 Contains lots of real-world data that supports models of inflation， growth， monetary and fiscal policies etc。 Numerous examples from the recent crises。 Sometimes I had a feeling that the 500 pages of the book could actually be fit into 100-150 pages。 For example， the author spends several pages explaining optimal consumption/investment problems – something that could be easily described in several sentences by using dynamic programming （or by referring to a graduate textbook on microeconomics）。 Blanchard also puts a lot of effort emphasizing the role of expectations on inflation targeting and generally on monetary policy。 To do this， he discusses two common use-cases of such inflationary expectations， i。e。， constant expectations and a martingale-like process。 However， the general model of formation of these expectations is clearly missing。 Consequently， the optimal control problem of managing the interest rate that is faced by central banks is not formally presented but just briefly mentioned。Overall， I’d recommend this book to someone who already has a little bit of knowledge/intuition of how the economy works on the macro level but who is not willing to look at the economy through a prism of game theory and more elaborate formal methods。 。。。more

Плюсом этой книги является её ясная логическая структура。 Бланшар делит экономику на три периода， для каждого из которых существуют свои истины и закономерности。 Каждое уравнение выводится математически и обычно проверяется эмпирически с помощью эконометрических методов （чаще всего это линейная регрессия）。 Автор постоянно возвращает нас к центральным макроэкономическим моделям （которые как бы являются "ядром" теории） и разрабатывает их на разных уровнях， постепенно усложняя их， делает более реал Плюсом этой книги является её ясная логическая структура。 Бланшар делит экономику на три периода， для каждого из которых существуют свои истины и закономерности。 Каждое уравнение выводится математически и обычно проверяется эмпирически с помощью эконометрических методов （чаще всего это линейная регрессия）。 Автор постоянно возвращает нас к центральным макроэкономическим моделям （которые как бы являются "ядром" теории） и разрабатывает их на разных уровнях， постепенно усложняя их， делает более реалистичными。 Огромное внимание уделяется ожиданиям。 В общем， изложение ясное и систематическое。Лично для меня， большими достоинствами являются привлечение основ финансовой теории и темы， посвященные фондовому рынку。 Очень интересные параграфы про Великую депрессию， падение Nikkei， паритет процентных ставок и гиперинфляцию。 Особо глубоких познаний в математике эта книга не требует， но базовое знание статистики не помешает。 Конечно， необходимо знать и базовые принципы экономикс。Принесет ли эта книга пользу в практической деятельности экономиста？ Несомненно。 。。。more

The recent editions of this textbook have been great in explaining intricacies and providing economic insight through conversational approach。 I felt as if the author was inside my room， giving a lecture， while I wrote down insight after insight。 It's an easy textbook to follow and apply which is all you can ask for from a textbook on applied mathematics and economics。 Language and example levels are on the easy side， but the depth of information is undeniably high。 That is an achievement in its The recent editions of this textbook have been great in explaining intricacies and providing economic insight through conversational approach。 I felt as if the author was inside my room， giving a lecture， while I wrote down insight after insight。 It's an easy textbook to follow and apply which is all you can ask for from a textbook on applied mathematics and economics。 Language and example levels are on the easy side， but the depth of information is undeniably high。 That is an achievement in itself。 Consider yourself lucky if you're professor elects to go this route， because it will make the semester that much more fun--plus it's economics。 。。。more

Decent for a textbook for graduate macroeconomics class。 The repeating of important ideas was helpful for me because I have had few classes focusing on macroeconomics。

This Macroeconomics book is fool proof: everything is explained so well even someone so little gifted with an economics brain such as myself could understand。

I might actually end up with a very bad final grade on this course but this is a pretty good textbook （compared to my previous experience with Krugman）。And yes， unfortunately， I am reading nothing but my textbooks this semester。 Tough times。

Correct， concise， but not precise in explaining。 The metaphors used are weak， they gloss over 'simple' things that do not immediately make sense， they encourage broad generalization without addressing their more general weaknesses， not even in the exercises。 Well， five pages of apple pie economies later， Chapter 3 started making sense。Supplied the piemaker a quarter， invested 1/5， 10% income tax， put the apple core in savings and ate the restDon't get me wrong， it is a great book for beginners， Correct， concise， but not precise in explaining。 The metaphors used are weak， they gloss over 'simple' things that do not immediately make sense， they encourage broad generalization without addressing their more general weaknesses， not even in the exercises。 Well， five pages of apple pie economies later， Chapter 3 started making sense。Supplied the piemaker a quarter， invested 1/5， 10% income tax， put the apple core in savings and ate the restDon't get me wrong， it is a great book for beginners， especially if you don't have a mathematical base， but shit happens when you start asking questions like "which ass did you pull this equation out of？！" and "I get the IS-LM and the AD-AS， but where does reality come into this nice story？"。 Finish this book， do the exercises， then find an online set of exercises and try and try again。 If I had had a paperback， it would have gathered more air miles than a Ryanair Boeing。 。。。more

Le meilleur livre d'économie que j'ai eu l'occasion de lire！ Le seul qui a réussi à me faire comprendre et à m'intéresser à la matière。 Je le recommande à tous！ Très facile d'accès : les graphiques aident beaucoup et sont bien expliqués et annotés。 Parfait！ Le meilleur livre d'économie que j'ai eu l'occasion de lire！ Le seul qui a réussi à me faire comprendre et à m'intéresser à la matière。 Je le recommande à tous！ Très facile d'accès : les graphiques aident beaucoup et sont bien expliqués et annotés。 Parfait！ 。。。more

The rating of 3/5 is a bit due to personal taste， as someone with an engineering background。This textbook has been a wonderful introduction to the commonly used IS/LM and AS/AD models so far （I'm only halfway through as of writing this review）， and its text explains lucidly the minutiae workings of the model。 In turn， the model provides a textual framework with which to understand the economy。With a background in engineering however， I shudder when I see such a technical topic dealt with almost The rating of 3/5 is a bit due to personal taste， as someone with an engineering background。This textbook has been a wonderful introduction to the commonly used IS/LM and AS/AD models so far （I'm only halfway through as of writing this review）， and its text explains lucidly the minutiae workings of the model。 In turn， the model provides a textual framework with which to understand the economy。With a background in engineering however， I shudder when I see such a technical topic dealt with almost entirely without serious mathematical formulations。 The lack of mathematicization of especially Chapter 10， which deals with the AS/AD （Aggregate supply/Aggregate demand） model makes the explanation feel tenuous at best， and at worst it raised suspicions in me that it could just be a chapter of hand-waving。 Good introductory textbook， but don't expect a rigorous， mathematicized treatment of the topic at hand。 。。。more

Very good text。 Anticipates my questions quite well， probably from having them asked by lots of students。 In the preface， Prof Blanchard says he had groups of students work through the book section by section - this seems to have helped quite bit。
