Reviews

"To go through five editions of a book in New Zealand indicates the authors must be doing something right. What they seem to be doing right is producing a book that is short, clearly and concisely written and consequently very accessible to a considerable target audience--those doing an economics course in the last years of high school and the first years of university." --Simon Chapple, Social Policy Journal, on The New Zealand Macroeconomy
