Principles of Economics, 4th Edition (Student Edition)
N. Gregory Mankiw
South-Western College Pub, 2006
Awesom review
This book was right on point...before I chose this book, I was concerned if it had everything that I needed and it did. I was also impressed with the condition of the book. So going forward, I will be ordering all of my text books from Amazon.
