Textbooks by Martha Olney
Principles textbooks
Essentials of
Economics, 1st edition, with Paul Krugman and Robin Wells.
Worth Publishers. 2007. ISBN 9780716758792
(there is now a 2nd edition of both the
full text by Krugman and Wells, and of the Essentials text.
Co-author of the new Essentials text is Kathryn
Graddy.)
Microeconomics as
a Second Language. Wiley and Sons, 2009. ISBN 978-0470433737.
Available at major online book sellers.
This book is
designed as a supplement to a standard microeconomics textbook. Microeconomics as a Second Language
“cuts to the chase.” It zeroes in on the concepts, assumptions,
and models that students need to learn. My focus is the
principles of microeconomics and the language used to express them.
What if you’re not
currently enrolled in a microeconomics course? This book is a
good aid for you, too. Trying to pick up some economics concepts
and language? This book will help you out. Trying to follow
the news about the economy? This book is for you. Rather
than wade through a 700-900 page principles textbook, Microeconomics as a Second Language
gives you the basics to get you up to speed quickly.
Macroeconomics as a Second Language.
Wiley and Sons, 2011. ISBN 978-0470505380.
Available at major online book sellers.
Macroeconomics as a Second Language
“cuts to the chase.” It zeroes in on the concepts, assumptions, and
models that you need to learn. This book is a student study aid in the
Principles of Macroeconomics. We take a bare-bones approach here. Our
focus is the principles of macroeconomics and the language used to
express them.
What if you’re not
currently enrolled in a macroeconomics course? This book is a good aid
for you, too. Trying to pick up some economics concepts and language?
This book will help you out. Trying to follow the news about the
economy? This book is for you. Rather than wade through a 700-900 page
principles textbook, Macroeconomics
as a Second Language gives you the basics to get you up to speed
quickly.

Intermediate
Macro textbook
Macroeconomics,
2nd edition, with J. Bradford DeLong. Published by McGraw-Hill,
2006. But now available only through their "Create" division. Be
sure to request the second
edition (not the "updated" nor the "first" edition).
Foreign language editions -- Spanish, Catalon, Portuguese -- and
Canadian version available through McGraw-Hill. International
edition also available.
Study Guide to Accompany Macroeconomics. Much
more a workbook than a study guide and, frankly, my best work.
(Macro as a Second Language is a close second.) But again,
currently only available through McGraw-Hill's "Create" division.
Again, be absolutely sure they produce the proper edition, the 2nd.
In time, a new edition of Macroeconomics
will be available. Stay tuned.
