Study Guide for Baumol/Blinder's Macroeconomics: Principles and Policy, 10th
ASIN: 0324221142 |
Book Description
This macroeconomics text is well known for using the Keynesian model in the teaching of economics; yet in recent editions, the authors have expanded coverage of the growth model considerably to achieve more balanced coverage. The text uses the aggregate supply/ aggregate demand model as a fundamental tool for learning macroeconomics. It achieves the right level of rigor and detail, presenting complicated concepts in a relatively straightforward manner and using timely economic data. Using puzzles, issues, and well-developed examples, the authors provide a good balance of theory to application. Homework Xpress and Aplia are available with the Anniversary Tenth Edition and two new sets of end of chapter questions have been added as well to help students prepare for exams: ?Test Yourself? and ?Discussion Questions?.

Book Description
Macroeconomics: Principles and Policy remains a proven leader in the world of economics. Since introducing the aggregate supply/aggregate demand model as a fundamental tool for learning economics over two decades ago, William J. Baumol and Alan S. Blinder continue to equip students with the knowledge and tools they need to apply modern economics to their world--now and in the future. This is all the more true today, as the U.S. economy enters its first recession in more than a decade.
Customer Reviews:
A good introduction to macroeconomics.......2003-12-25
"Increasing demand leads to rising interest rates which leads to reduced investment spending and appreciating currency exchange rates..." The authors of "Macroeconomics" effortlessly provide the economic reasoning that underlie events like these such that they really make common sense - and without the need for rote memorization on the part of the reader. A previous reviewer from Los Angeles did an excellent job in praising Baumol and Blinder for their clear and concise teaching, and I strongly agree with his comments. Instead of going into abstract theories and ideas, Baumol and Blinder focus on making the reader understand the "real world" implications of macroeconomics. For example, each chapter in their book introduces a different contemporary economic issue as a way to illustrate the ideas being described in the text. Additionally, the authors outlined eight take-home messages that they believe the reader should remember after finishing the book. Although the authors label these take-home messages as "Ideas for Beyond the Final Exam", these ideas are equally relevant for student and non-student alike.
It should be kept in mind that the eighth edition of this textbook was published in 1999, so most of the "contemporary" issues that are discussed within are now out of date. In one chapter, for example, the authors' upbeat commentary on America's 1998 budget surplus seems sadly ironic considering the large budget deficit that we are currently dealing with in financing the War on Terror in 2003. Additionally, I thought many of the examples in the book were a bit "pro-Clinton", and depending on one's own political orientation, that may or may not be welcome. I have not looked at the ninth (and latest) edition of "Macroeconomics", but assuming that the fundamental principles remain the same, I would encourage the reader to pick up that copy in order to have a more current and up-to-date illustration of ideas.
Readers looking for mathematical models and equations to play with will be sorely disappointed, as the only foray into mathematical analysis involves deriving the demand-side equilibrium condition of the Keynesian economic model (a simple algebraic equation). But considering that the slant of this book is towards "real world" understanding, I think the authors were probably justified in keeping the mathematical equations to a minimum.
All in all, I think "Macroeconomics" by Baumol and Blinder would be an excellent introduction for the economically-illiterate person (as I was before reading this book). Although many of the examples in the eighth edition are a bit out of date, it is true that the fundamental economic principles that are discussed endure throughout all of the editions of this textbook.
macro class textbook.......2003-03-12
this is a good straight forward text that does not get bogged down in the unecessary details for an introduction to the subject. It is simplified, and straightforward, while trying to be enjoyable reading.
Very fast shipping. Excellent book condition.......2002-01-17
Very fast transaction. Happy with the transaction
Perfect for Intro-level course.......2002-01-10
Baumol and Blinder explain all the important concepts of macroeconomics with tremendous clarity. Students with little or no knowledge of economics will find this book most straight-forward. Interesting real world examples are given to reinforce key ideas. For example, the authors describe the Asian crisis of 1998 to illustrate the shortcomings of a fixed exchange rate system. Secondly, unlike other econ. textbooks, this one is filled with colorful graphs and even photographs. I wouldn't be too surprised if this book succeeds in piquing the interest of those students, who are averse to econ. Finally, the attempts at humor are generally unsuccessful but provide a refreshing change from the unceasing monotony of most college textbooks.
the authors clearly know how to teach.......2000-04-04
I think this introductory econ book is exceptionally good as a text book; a book that truely deserves 5 stars. If a book explains things clearly, I usually give it 4 stars, but this book goes beyond that. The authors made a concious effort to make learning easy and meaningful.
Right at the beginning, the authors will tell you that they don't expect you to be a econ fanatic and remember every little detail - in fact, the authors seem to completely understand why we students forget most details soon after the final exam. So, right a way they list out the main ideas - in their own words: "ideas for beyond the final exam". Not only did the authors filtered out the most important material, they also truly believed that the material will be improtant beyond the final exam - in life that is. It is the first text book I saw that has such a candit and honest attitude because so many books and so many people talks down to me rather than at me.
Also, for each chapter, the authors always begin with some kind of "bait question", something that the reader understands but usually can't answer right a way. This is a great way to focus the chapter and entice people to read. And all the examples the authors use are either famous or recent (or both). One effect is to make you think what you are learning is truly useful because you can use it to analyze so many things from the news. A more subtle impression is that the authors really did update the book every few years to reflect important events that just occurred. As a computer science engineering major, I have seen countless "8th editions" that's just like the prior ones - but I seriously doubt the prior editions of this econ book talked about Asian economic crisis or the booming economy of the 1998 / 99
clear book + impressive effort = 5 stars

Lacked a rational decision maker in the writing process.......2005-08-24
Economics likes to pretend to be rational, but to say that any rational decision maker uses an ideology, is a contradiciton. Since an ideology is not rational to begin with. So right from the first chapter, I could see where this book was headed.
Filled with mild anectdotes like one of the books larger claims is the raising of minimum wage would be harmful overall towards investment. Then in a small box in one of the chapters, information about recent research showed that these ideas are false. In other words the raising of minimum wage didn't reduce investment, and didn't increase unemployment, infact it reduced unemployment. Not satisfied with that result, the authors note that groups that have found legitamate results such as this, are ignored by politicians, and thus comes the remark that "research has its consequences."
There is also a quote from Einstien talking about how wonderful compounded intrest was. Actually, the man was making a joke, he wasn't serious about it. But the authors go on to explain compound intrest, using Einstien as an example of a great thinker supposedly baffled by compounded intrest. It makes me wonder how much other things were taken out of context.
There are also chapters written about the wonder and might of supply side economics a.k.a Regeanomics. In fact this policy is so wonderful, it is almost as if there is no other economic policy on the face of the earth.
I honestly would have liked to know more about other types of economic policies, both their negative and positive effects, but this book provided nothing but bias.

Quintessential good introduction.......2003-02-17
I used this book as my first introduction to economics, and even many years after having read it I continue to use it as a source of reference to the most simple concepts of economics. It has the very best simple explanations of economic principles that I have ever seen. It is filled with interesting stories that bring these principles to the real world, showing a novice the potential power of these ideas. This is Economics 101 at its best.
It's mainstream economics myths and legends.......2002-09-11
I didn't buy the book. I looked at some parts to verify a critique by others I read. I found this quote:
"So while saving may pave the road to riches for an individual, if the nation as a whole decides to save more, the result may be poverty for all!"
This thinking is flawed. After all, true savings means that we have put aside something we created (instead of consuming it) that someone can now use to sustain themselves while they create new products and jobs for those who were laid off from unprofitable businesses. Without these savings, we would not be able to survive to produce more. And if we don't, ourselves, produce more than we consume, then where will all the new businesses get their resources to run their new business (before it starts to produce anything).
As usual, these writers of mainstream economics don't seem able to follow through with a chain of events. It's as though when someone saves a dollar's worth of some product, it is always burried and lost to human kind. These authors would have us continue to consume everything around us without any regard for new production. Somehow this would result in less proverty.
Unless you are forced to buy this book for a course in Economics, you would be better off looking elsewhere. Better yet, find a better course in economics, unless you are only interested in working for some organization that feeds itself by spreading false economic theory.
full of the economic wisdom.......2000-10-23
I am teaching economics and have read the textbooks written by Stiglitz, Mankiw, Samuelson etc.,but I think this is the best.It not only explains the elements of economics in plain words,but also convey lots of incisive insights which we should keep in mind when we tackle economic problems. I found Baumol and Blinder very instructive as well as interesting.
Baumol and Blinder.......2000-06-08
Found the authors to not mince words - got to the point, concise, explained concepts visually and verbally. Excellent text for an undergrad beginning Econ class. Used it as an undergrad and continue to recommend. Updated version refines Micro theory, which was necessary.
Don't buy!.......1998-07-17
The author does a good job of exlpaining Economics, Priciples and Policy. But, his organizational skills are limited. The chapters are out of order in my opinion.

A book that I'm glad I have........1997-01-15
Susan Phelps has a unique sense of humor that she applies
to life in general and to her life in particular. She's irreverant
in a sort of honorable way. Although she does admit to
switching toilet paper rolls in friends' houses so that they
will hang the "right" way, her firm advocacy of doing the right
thing, and laughing about it, encompasses broader realms, too.
I loved her memos to colleagues, such as "How does our
school's ethics program differ in concept from other prisons'
rehabilitation programs?" (An academic committee meeting
attended by Susan Phelps must be a little off the norm.)
It's impossible to make your way through this book without
having a good laugh. Anyone who enjoys tongue-in-cheek
commentary would like A Lady Without a Latitude
A really fun book!.......1997-01-02
"A Lady Without A Latitude" is a really fun book! Susan Phelps writes about her childhood and the world around her with humor, warmth and intelligence. I especially liked the essay, "What's in a name?" and the hilarious story she found in her grandma's cedar chest! Grace Housholde
