Concise Guide to Macroeconomics, Second Edition, A MP3 CD – Unabridged, April 19, 2016

This book is exactly what the title says. I’m very happy that I’ve read this book.

Before reading I didnt know what macroeconomics was. I wasnt oblivious to economics, but I never studied it. The amount of information contained really helps explain everything. Some chapters glaze over ways of tracting methods, but there are books that go in depth on those select chapters.

Nice quick read. As advertised.

I was looking for a text that would introduce people to Macroeconomics concepts and ideas without being a Macroeconomic text book. I did a number of web searches and this book kept coming up as recommended. When I got it and flipped through it, I did not see the graphs and other things I expected -- still with a text book mentality.So I started reading and at first the language is academic. Talking about Output, etc. But after reading the first chapter and allowing my self to take it all in, the book's value comes out. Yes its a bit academic and macro economics has some big concepts, but if you give the book the time to read through part 1, then you will understand more.The books principles and ideas are timeless, but David Moss does a nice job of including commentary on the 2007 recession and the economic policies followed.Overall recommended for people who want to know more about how the macro economy works and make better sense out of the economic headlines.

Best book I've read this year. As the title says, it is concise. Clear with thoughtful examples with unbiased descriptions of conflicting theories. Unlike some older texts, the author includes results from behavioral economics. Read page 146, "Uses and Misuses of Macroeconomics" first because it is perhaps the most important page in the book. If you are taking a macro economics course, you can read this book in a few hours and it will make the course material easier to understand. If you are an amateur investor who reads the financial pages, this book is worth your while. Again, start with page 146 where the author's warnings explain why some opinion pieces published in the financial journals are nonsense (or political ax-grinding).

A brief & succinct explanation of key macroeconomic concepts with the use of basic graphs, data tables, and painless arithmetic. This book is ideal for those in need of a quick refresher and/or reference guide. Overall, I was pleased with the scope of this brief book and the approachable writing style. The professional may find the Balance of Payments and GDP Accounting chapters helpful.*Delivered as advertised-New

This fantastic little primer covers the basic principles of macroeconomics as clearly and concisely as one could possibly ask for. If you don't have time to read a textbook, this will familiarize you with the basics.

Concise meaning only the big ideas are covered and less of the details. GDP, money supply, and balance of payments are explained for 20+ dollars. Good if you need a short general understanding. Better if it was cheaper. Worth a read if you have audible
