This classic text has remained a market leader for over 30 years because it covers all the conventional areas of international economics in an easy-to-understand manner. The 11th edition has been thoroughly revised and it continues to be accessible, flexible, and interesting to economics and business majors alike. Like earlier editions, it also places international economics events within an historical framework. The overall treatment continues to be intuitive rather than mathematical and is strongly oriented towards policy. Peter Lindert was recently awarded the University of California-Davis Prize for Undergraduate Teaching and Scholarly Achievement.
Doesn't get too technical, but explains everything clearly. This book is one of the best economic books that I ever used.
Good Intro to International Economics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I used this book for my international economics undergraduate course and found it easy to understand; it doesn't use lengthy mathematical formulas but utilizes basic macroeconomic theories. The authors organized this book well; the later chapters build upon the beginning ones. However, it would be best to have taken Intermediate Macroeconomics before using this book because the last few chapters rely heavily on a good understanding of intermediate level material.
