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. For this purpose, the author provides numerous case studies in most chapters to illustrate how economic principles can be applied to the analysis of real-world economic issues. Additionally, the author includes many "news clips" in the book to help readers understand what economics in everyday life is like. The English edition of this book is currently used as a textbook for Principles of Economics courses in 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! On the basis of maintaining a clear and easy-to-understand writing style, Professor Mankiw has meticulously revised all 36 chapters in the 4th edition; at the same time, most of the "news clips," "case studies," and "reference materials" have been updated. Additionally, to assist teachers in classroom design and teaching, the 4th edition has greatly enriched the teaching resources. To facilitate readers' flexible selection based on course arrangements, the 4th edition of this book is published in two volumes: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.
