 "Split," NOT "Excerpt": An Excellent Micro Text September 7, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Samuel Weber's review implies this book is an excerpt; it's not. Microeconomics and macroeconomics are completely different subjects; the courses share only a few introductory chapters (e.g., supply and demand; production possibilities).
Since they're different subjects, in most universities, they're taught by different professors, and students DON'T have the luxury of buying the big "Economics" book and having it last for two courses. I use K/W for micro; I think only one fellow prof uses K/W for macro.
So Mr. Weber's comment is no more true for this book than any other mainstream text.
Some good features of this book:
(1) a separate chapter on decision-making, differentiating discrete from marginal (yes/no from "how much") choice;
(2)choice under uncertainty, including discussion of risk tolerance and insurance;
(3) situations when buyers know more about the product than sellers, or vice versa (issues: "lemons," supervision of workers, warranties);
(4) a chapter on the economics of technology;
(5) interesting stories to start each chapter (such as London's pre-sewer "Great Stink of 1858")
(6) a mainstream focus in spite of Krugman's role as a political/econ
 Probably great, but excerpt from larger book November 20, 2006

This is probably a very, very good book. However, it turns out that this is simply one-half of the authors' book "Economics" and, currently, the complete book seems to sell for about the same price as this one piece of it! So, be economical -- buy "Economics" instead.
