    It's a good book but I don't share the enthusiasm of the other reviewers.

    Jones is too much into development economics and as such misses the mark on the financial crisis. I guess this is a common feature to most modern Macro textbooks - they all show lack of understanding of money (money is a swap of IOUs and as such it is by definition non-neutral) and lack of understanding of the intimate link between the "real" economy and the financial side of it. Though Jones devoted a chapter or two on the financial crisis he fails to explain what really caused the crisis to become so severe and as a result to create so much uncertainty as to depress long-term outlook for such an extended period as to prompt talks of secular stagnation.

    These considerations aside, Jones' book is really good at explaining the standard Macro.

    I was TAing the course using this book. It does not use conventional way teaching macroeconomics, where every output dynamics are focusing on percentage deviations from the potential output. However this approach seems to be effective when explaining the difference between short-run vs long-run, monetary policy having real vs nominal effect, and etc. Also, it has strong connection with the original idea of the papers that the theories are based on. Every chapter is strongly connected, and notations are carefully chosen. Minimal use of math helps students focus on the core messages from the model. If I become a instructor of this course, I will definitely use this book as well.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Content good, binding less so

    Good book and useful for an undergrad course in macroeconomics.
    The binding and paper quality is poor - some of the pages are starting to move away from the spine after low use.
