Man Kun belongs to neoclassical Keynesian school, and his research scope focuses on macroeconomic analysis.
Principles of Economics is written for college students. Its main features are concise writing, simple reasoning and interesting language. A large number of cases and newspaper abstracts are used in this paper, which are extremely close to life; Complex mathematics is rarely used. Ten Principles of Economics is my own summary, which is very convenient for people who have hardly touched economics to read. Through this book, readers can understand the basic ideas and common basic principles of economics and use them to analyze economic phenomena in life, which is very worth reading.
2. Samuelson Economics (Multi-Edition)
Samuelson is a representative of neoclassical comprehensive school, whose research scope spans many fields such as economics, statistics and mathematics, and he has unique views on political economics, departmental economics and technical economics. At present, most of the analytical frameworks and methods used in various economics textbooks adopt microeconomic analysis and its 1947, which develops the theoretical framework of "neoclassical comprehensive school" which combines Keynesianism with traditional microeconomics. He has always been keen on applying mathematical tools to the analysis of static equilibrium and dynamic process, and studying economy by physical and mathematical reasoning methods.
The book is magnificent in structure and huge in length, which can be described as extensive and profound. After reading this book, we can understand the position and analytical framework of the issues discussed in economics in the economic system, and have a framework for economics.
3. A series of auxiliary teaching materials such as Economics by Stiglitz (NPC Edition)
Stiglitz has made great achievements in information economics, and the number of times can be used as a supplement to the first two. The economic contents involved in the first two are mainly based on price theory and marginal analysis, excluding asymmetric information economics and uncertainty analysis. Stiglitz's economics can fill the gaps in the first two.
Although the above three authors have different policy tendencies, the textbooks are considerable and fair, which is very suitable for introductory textbooks.

Second, the intermediate miniature teaching materials
1, Pindick Microeconomics (NPC Edition)
This book is a standard intermediate micro-course textbook, which is adopted by MBA students in many American universities. This book is moderate in content and wide in topic, which is the main point of all parts of the theory, and does not touch other controversial contents, among which the pricing part is more detailed. Clear graphics and fluent language. The mathematical tools used are very shallow, with functions but not involving differentiation, only using differences. The curve only uses the standard concave curve, which does not involve the quasi-concave part and linear affine content, and the cost function is also linear. Naturally, this book should be suitable for students with different backgrounds. It is recommended that this book be read through for advanced use only.
2. Microeconomics in Fan Lian: A Modern Perspective (Third Edition)
This book is a standardized intermediate micro-course textbook (designated by Harvard, Burke and other universities in the United States). The content is easy to understand, profound, and pays great attention to technical details, which is deeper than Pindick. Readers are required to have certain mathematical attainments, but this book deliberately avoids using a large number of mathematical formulas, and most of the mathematical derivation is placed in the appendix, and the differential application is quite rare, which is suitable for Pindick to read later. It can expand the theoretical content of each part in Pindick.
3. Mansfield Microeconomics (NPC Edition)
The content and difficulty of this book are similar to Pindick's Microeconomics, but the order is different. The system is a bit complicated, not as clear as Pindick, but it is also a popular teaching material abroad. If you have any questions about learning Pindick, you can refer to this textbook first, or learn other books published in China, such as Microeconomics by Zhou, a series of textbooks by Peking University, Microeconomics by Zhu, Peking University Edition.
Third, intermediate macro textbooks.
The microcosmic feature is profound, and the macroscopic feature is complex, because there are many schools and different viewpoints.
1, Man Kun Macroeconomics (NPC Edition)
This book inherits the advantages of Man Kun's economic principles and is characterized by simplicity. Although only a small amount of mathematical knowledge is used, the principle and content are very concise. The first half is clear. After reading Samuelson's economics, I know a little about the micro and learn directly. It is a learning cycle, that is, starting from this book, after reading Macroeconomics from a Global Perspective, and then going back to rebuild this book, which is useful for outlining. Its disadvantage is that the author seems to be confined to the portal view and rarely mentions other schools such as the real circular school and the Austrian school.

This book is a standard intermediate macro textbook and a mathematical orthodox textbook. The system is clear and the description is correct, which has been used in American universities for many years.

Saks successfully dealt with the problem of high inflation in South America. The book pays attention to details and is well organized, which is very suitable for further reading after reading Donne Bush's Macroeconomics.

Its content involves many micro-fields, introduces a lot of mathematical operations, and emphasizes logical reasoning besides text content.
