It is especially suitable for interdisciplinary students to make an introductory book. The interface is quite friendly, citing a large number of cases and newspaper abstracts, which is extremely close to life, such as why the Federal Reserve exists, how it works, and how Greenspan cuts interest rates to deal with the economic downturn.

Pindick's Microeconomics

This textbook of microeconomics is also the designated textbook for postgraduate entrance examination in many universities. It is a very popular textbook in China. The first impression of getting this book is heavy, but it is not too difficult. It is still a relatively simple textbook. Due to American textbooks, a large number of business cases occupy a lot of space, such as P &；; G, GE and so on. The book mainly uses two-dimensional graphics to illustrate the economic principle, and the mathematical application is extremely shallow. Even the differential is only replaced by the difference (δ), and the analysis object is limited to good curves (strictly convex (concave)). Candidates who apply for this book designated by the school can start the mid-term review.

Fan Lian's Modern Viewpoint of Microeconomics

This textbook is an intermediate master's degree in microeconomics, and it is an undergraduate textbook of Harvard and University of California, Berkeley. It is also used as a reference book for postgraduate entrance examination by a series of schools in China, such as CCER of Peking University, Renmin University, Nankai University, CEMA of Central Finance and Economics, Lingnan of Sun Yat-sen University, and WISE of Xiamen University. It contains most of the contents of microeconomics, which is easy to understand and profound, and pays great attention to technical details, which is deeper than Pindick's, but this book deliberately avoids the application of a large number of mathematical formulas, most of which. This book also contains a large number of economic cases, involving policy, business, Internet and other fields. It is worth noting that Fan Lian himself is the chief economist of Google and the originator of Internet economics. There are many examples of Internet in the relevant chapters of this book, such as auction, monopolistic behavior, game theory, information technology, market failure and so on.

Macroeconomics in Man Kun.

This is a book recommended by Macro. As mentioned earlier, Man Kun is a leading figure of neo-Keynesianism, and this macroeconomics textbook is also one of the most widely used intermediate macroeconomics textbooks. This book is relatively simple in general, and the author deliberately does not use complicated mathematical tools to analyze it. The language is vivid and fluent, and the cases are rich and interesting. Follow the narrative order of long-term (classical), ultra-long-term (economic growth) and short-term (Keynesianism), and finally supplement the microeconomics foundation of Keynesianism. But we can see Man Kun's prejudice against neoclassicism and RBC (Real Business Cycle) school.

Donne Bush/Fisher/Studes Macroeconomics.

This textbook is also recommended by many universities in China. This book aims to help students systematically and comprehensively understand the macro theory in western mainstream economics and provide basic analytical tools for their future practical work. The "overshoot theory" put forward by Donne Bush is a famous theory in international economics. This book adopts the Keynesian IS-LM system as the framework, and the evaluation and description of various schools are quite fair.

The advantage of this book is to tell it in words and charts as much as possible, avoiding mathematical analysis and deduction, and making macroeconomic theory easier to understand. The layout design of this book is novel, which is more conducive to easily understanding and mastering the key contents. This book is suitable for undergraduate economic management majors and can also be used as a reference book for economic management workers. Macroeconomics is the main component of contemporary western economics, and it is the basis of economic theoretical decision-making in western developed market economy countries, mainly including unemployment theory. Inflation theory. Economic growth theory, economic cycle theory, macroeconomic policy theory and many other contents. Among them, the theory of economic growth is the fastest-growing and most fruitful field in macroeconomics, and it has gradually become the core content of modern macroeconomics. In order to reflect this change, the structure of this book no longer follows the traditional Keynesian research ideas adopted by most domestic textbooks, but adopts a combination of long-term and short-term analysis methods to study economic growth as a key point of macroeconomics. In order to learn and understand the development direction of macroeconomics, the last two chapters of this book also arrange the introduction of the main schools of modern western economics. This textbook is especially suitable for the study of economic theory in undergraduate education in colleges and universities.
