Pearson Education, 2000

Manageable and informative!
The second edition of Economics: Principles and Tools by O'Sullivan/Sheffrin provides a good introduction to both macro and microeconomics. This was especially true for me since my math skills aren't up to par. It was manageable and understandable for those who don't do well with numbers. The CD was helpful in understanding the graphs that were involved in textbook. In addition to providing an ...

Markets and Majorities
Steven M. Sheffrin

Free Press, 1993

America's government intervenes in almost every aspect of its citizens' daily lives. From the air we breathe, to our health, wealth, and security, Americans wade through a vast political ocean. Unfortunately, we do so blindly; few Americans understand how or why our government regulates the market mechanisms that surround us. In Markets and Majorities, Steven Sheffrin addresses essential yet overlooked questions about political intervention in ...

Proposition 13 in Recession and Recovery
Steven M. Sheffrin, Terri A. Sexton

Public Policy Institute of California, 1998

Proposition 13 has created wide disparities in property taxes between homes purchased more recently and those owned for many years. Although the steep recession in California from 1991 through 1995 reduced some of these disparities, it also led to a crushing workload for California's understaffed and underfunded property tax assessors' offices. As property taxes fell, hundreds of thousands of residents and businesses filed appeals for ...

Better textbooks exist...
While experimenting with different textbooks for my Microeconomics classes, I decided to try the O'Sullivan and Sheffrin text. That experiment lasted two semesters. Portions of the textbook are written at levels which are too low for college/university students, while other portions expect students to go beyond the scope of the material covered in the text. For example, in the chapter on demand ...

Macroeconomics: Principles & Tools Review
This book gives a great overview of the study of economics. I used it for an Introduction to Global Economics class in college and found it to be easy to read and understand. The information is extremely up-to-date, and is displayed not only through text, but by charts and graphs as well. There also additional materials (practice test questions, a CD rom, and a guide to researching ...

Macroeconomics Principles, Applications, and Tools

Arthur O'Sullivan, Stephen J. Perez

Pearson Custom Publishing, 2008

Great buy
This book is very efficient and has served as a great source. It is very time friendly and easy to understand. Each chapter has applications and there are multiple appendixs within the book which go beyond the chapter to explain each aspect of the chapter in more detail. The only down side to this book would be that it is not hard cover and the text may be too small for some readers.

This is a excellent introduction to Rational Expectations
The Sheffrin's book is excellent introduction to Rational Expectations Theory, I reviewed all the book in the PhD, the book is very clear. The book was written in non-technical language and reveals both the power and the limitations of the expectations assumption. I recommend the book.
