BOOKS FOR MY CLASSES
Prof. Pam Brown, Economics – Pierce College
Below are the Study Guide & Textbook titles.
Before you buy them, PLEASE READ BELOW!!!
STUDY GUIDE IS REQUIRED
All students – regular, Online and honors - are REQUIRED to purchase the Study Guide. The
S.G. Title & Author are shown below. YOU MUST BUY THIS STUDY GUIDE, IN THE 6TH
EDITION. DO NOT BUY AN OLD EDITION OF THE STUDY GUIDE!
FOR ECON 1 (Microeconomics), STUDY GUIDE is:
“Study Guide for Mankiw's Principles of Microeconomics,” David R. Hakes (author).
Paperback (lime green), 6th edition, South-Western College Publishers (2011).
FOR ECON 2 (Macroeconomics), STUDY GUIDE is:
“Study Guide for Mankiw's Principles of Macroeconomics,” David R. Hakes (author).
Paperback (dark orange), 6th edition, South-Western College Publishers (2011).
You can buy the Study Guide at the Pierce bookstore for a low price. Or, if you want to buy
the SG through Amazon (or another website), that’s fine too.
TEXTBOOK IS OPTIONAL
You do not have to buy the Textbook that goes with the Study Guide I’ve assigned. The
Textbook that goes with the Study Guide is incredibly good, but it is expensive. I will place
several copies of texts ON RESERVE AT THE PIERCE COLLEGE LIBRARY for you to use
during the semester.
ANY POPULAR, USED TEXTBOOK with the title, “Principles of Microeconomics” (for Econ1)
or “Principles of Macroeconomics” for (Econ 2) would be fine text to purchase for this course.
So if you would like outside reading for our class, you are welcome to purchase ANY USED
PRINCIPLES OF MICRO OR MACRO TEXTBOOK, SUCH AS THE 3RD or 4TH EDITION (OLD
EDITIONS) OF N. GREG MANKIW’S TEXTS.
Again, a textbook purchase is not required for this course, but it would be very helpful to
have, if you are a Business Major who plans to transfer to CSUN where you will be required to
take additional upper-division Econ courses!
