Features: The major feature of this textbook is its "student orientation." As the author himself points out, he wanted to write an economics textbook that students would enjoy. 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 are applied to the analysis of real-world economic problems. Additionally, the author includes many "news summaries" in the book to help readers understand what economics is in everyday life. This book is translated from the latest edition of "Principles of Economics" by the economics master, Mankiw—the 3rd edition. It devotes more space to policy and less to formal economic theory. The book provides an in-depth yet accessible analysis of the worldview of economists from perspectives such as supply and demand, firm behavior and consumer choice theory, long-term economic growth and short-term economic fluctuations, and macroeconomic policy. The language is carefully chosen, and the thoughts are profound, making it highly beneficial for readers' learning and work.
