Hi,

The book is really excellent I find. It clearly spells out the different approaches well.  I use it in undergraduate macro, intermediate level. At that level, it requires a carefull lecture because it can be difficult for the students.  I use it in conjonction with Galbriath and Darity.  The students read Galbraith first, and then Snowdon.  This sequence makes it easier.

The vbook has a very weak post-Keynesian part, and it is lumped in with the neo-Austrians.  But aprt from that, I enjoy it and the students enjoy the book as well.

 A colleague is considering using _A Modern Guide to Macroeconomics_ by Snowden, Vane and Wynarczyk (Elgar, 1994) for a course.  Has anybody here used it, especially for undegrad intermediate or advanced macro or M.A. macro?  If so, what were the strengths and weaknesses, how did you use it (e.g., main text or supplementary), etc.?  Would you use it again? Thanks in advance. Mat
