Informative and covers the basic issues in a learner friendly language
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I just finished one semester using this book. It covers the basic topics in this field in reader friendly language. Yet, if you have absolutely no previous knowledge about microeconomics or finance, this book would be a challenge. I would say this book is rather an introductory book on Macroeconomics, it doesn't explain the issues in great details and I agree with one of the viewers that this book doesn't have enough examples. Since the topics covered in this book are those technical financial and macroeconomic issues, one would need to do extra homework (ie,refer to other learning materilas) to really understand the topics. If you happen to have a great professor, it would help a lot.
A really good introduction to International Finance

If the previous reviewer thought *this* was too complicated and confusing, I don't know what they'd make of the leading textbook in the field, Krugman's International Economics, which is a confusing, disorganized, and bloated mess. In my opinion, this book is much simpler, clearer, better organized, and better written. I just took a course with Krugman's text, and now I'm reading this to figure out what the heck Krugman was talking about, with great success.
Very Imformative- but complicated
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I have been using this book in an international finance class. It has been very imformative but is very slow going due to the complex nature of the text. I would suggest this to anyone who is not just interested in the subjecrt, but dedicated.
