Features: The greatest feature of this textbook is its "student-oriented" approach. As the author himself points out, he wanted to write an economics textbook that students would enjoy reading. Compared to other similar textbooks, this book emphasizes more on the application of economic principles and policy analysis rather than formal economic models. To this end, the author provides numerous cases in most chapters to illustrate how economic principles can be applied to the analysis of real-world economic problems. Additionally, the author includes many "news clips" in the book to help readers understand what economics is in everyday life. The English edition of this book is currently used as a textbook for economics principles courses by over 600 universities in the United States, including Harvard University, Yale University, Stanford University, and others! The first three Chinese editions of this book have been the most widely used and most popular economics textbooks in China since their publication in 1999! While maintaining the clear and easy-to-understand writing style, Professor Mankiw has meticulously revised all 36 chapters in the fourth edition. At the same time, most of the "news clips," "case studies," and "reference materials" have been updated. Furthermore, the fourth edition greatly enriches the teaching resources to assist teachers in classroom design and instruction. To facilitate readers in flexibly selecting materials based on their course schedules, the fourth edition of this book is published in two volumes: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.
