Synopsis

Real World Macro is a lively, thought-provoking supplement to introductory and intermediate macroeconomics textbooks. Real World Macro asks the big questions that standard textbooks try to avoid: What's so great about growth? Is unemployment natural? Why should inequality matter? Along with covering the basics monetary and fiscal policy, productivity and investment, inflation and unemployment Real World Macro also looks at the so-called debt crisis, tax debates, and arguments for and against "free trade." Chapter introductions help students review the concepts examined in each article, and discussion questions help students relate macroeconomic theories to the latest real-world issues. Real World Macro s engaging articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the leading magazine of popular economics.

About this title

Review

"Real World Macro s topical applications of macroeconomic analysis provide the clear, condensed critical perspective lacking in most macroeconomics texts." --Richard D. Wolff, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

"The principles of economics books (yes, even mine) tend to be on the dull side and leave aspects of the economy and economics unchallenged. Real World Micro and Macro can spice up your course and lead students to ask the type of questions they should be asking." --David Colander, Middlebury College
