The present article reviews Jones “Macroeconomics”, translated by Jahangard and Keramatfar. In this regard, an attempt has been made to examine the book in terms of content and translation using an analytical-descriptive method. Content analysis of the work indicates its usefulness for teaching at the university. Introducing the DSGE model in a fluent and simple way for undergraduate students, which is described with a practical example, is the most important achievement of the book. Also, the concepts of macroeconomics are presented simply and according to the revealed facts. Lack of attention to solving numerical examples as well as expressing different economic schools and the role of books in this regard are among the shortcomings of the main text. Publishing a book in Persian is valuable because of the analysis of the new Keynesian approach. However, translating a book has many drawbacks that in some cases make it difficult to read and understand. In addition, parts of the original version that are necessary to understand the content have not been translated. Therefore, it is suggested that the translated text be re-edited.

The dynamism of any science depends on fair criticism of the published works in that field. Undoubtedly، writing and publishing a new work in any field is greatly concerned with the review of previously published works as well as evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses. Such evaluations help to publish new books with less deficiencies and more creativity. The Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies is one of the Iranian official organizations responsible for reviewing educational and course textbooks inhumanities by its expert academic reviewers. The Institute accomplishes this task through the Iranian Council for Reviewing Books and Texts on Human Sciences. In economics، management and accounting majors، “Money، Currency and Banking” is an obligatory course in both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Applying the indices set by the Iranian Council for Reviewing Books as well as the reviews done by the reviewers، the present paper aims to study both content and form of 15 published books in the field of money، currency and banking both individually and collectively by using the content analysis method. The results indicate that most of the reviewed books are graded between 3 to 3. 99 out of 5 in terms of both form and content.

The present paper aims to review one of the well-known and recognized books in the field of macroeconomics، which is an academic textbook for the undergraduates majoring in economics or other related fields. The method used in the review is analytical-descriptive، which involves introducing the book، highlighting its strengths، and discussing its major–and some minor–issues. The results indicate that the book is appropriate in terms of form. However، in terms of content، it displays a lack of order، (overall and partial) incoherence in discussions، and unsystematic emphasis on some viewpoints. Nevertheless، this work is more comprehensive in comparison to a set of selected books that are usually taught in the course “Principles of Economics (2)”.
