Oh So U're A Foreigner., Pardon My Previous Reply It Was Written On
Bahasa.
Macro Economics?
well U Should Check these Links
http://www.ebookee.com/index.php?tag=80
http://www.esnips.com/_t_/economic?q=economic
Or U can Sign At www.projectw.org and Go Hunt Some Great Threads
Consisting Finance and Economics E-Books There.
Oh and When U Become Rich and Success Enough to Buy The Books., dont
Forget to Buy the "Real-Books" when U Can Afford It. That Way We Are
Supporting the Intellectual Work Of The Authors.
I Suppose the Net Connection is faster and easier In China than In
Indo so It'd be wiser for me to provide the link instead of sending U
the Books Via Mail (net connection here is sooo Lame...)
