Summary: A Wonderful Book
Review: Auerbach and Kotlikoff did a great job! I knew absolutely nothing about macroecnomics before and thought this discipline is totally above and beyond me. An accidental curiosity drove me to pick up this book. BAM! The book and I clicked! Auerbach and Kotlikoff integrated bisic principles of the macroecomics into their original life-model, make them very easy to digest! Besides, the writing style is succint and clear. The language is never complicated and alienating, because the authors aim at conveying some real princles of macroecomics, not showing off their linguistic sophistication! What I appreciate most is three things:1. The book cites numerous tables and charts that help me understand the texts better .(although the texts are already very well written.) 2. At the end of each chapter, there is a chapter summary. I appreciate the authors' effort to keep the readers' interests in mind! I find this feature very helpful. It saves me the trouble of writing my own summary. ( I have this habit.) 3. A great number of case studies illustrate the theories meaningfully. In conclusion, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in macroeconomics!
