Zusammenfassung
Appropriate for undergraduate college courses in intermediate macroeconomics.
- By addressing the interests, needs, and abilities of students, this practical text prepares students for a lifetime of macroeconomic issues that will arise in their multiple roles of consumer, business decision-maker, voter, and opinion leader.
The goal of the text is to help students reach a basic understanding of macroeconomics issues that will not evaporate soon after the final exam, but will become a part of an economic common sense to be drawn upon throughout their lives.
