Synopsis

Real World Macro, 27th edition, is a lively, thought-provoking supplement to introductory and intermediate macroeconomics textbooks. Real World Macro asks the 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 international trade and finance, the debt crisis, and arguments for and against "free trade."

Real World Macro's engaging articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the leading magazine of popular economics.

About this title

Review

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

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

As textbooks become more conservative and less topical, I find that Dollars & Sense readers are more useful than ever in my undergraduate classes. They are jargon free, up-to-date, and inexpensive as well as con­sistently and thoughtfully progressive. I recommend them highly. --Robin Hahnel, American University
