Full Description
Macroeconomics in Context lays out the principles of macroeconomics in a manner that is thorough, up to date, and relevant to students. Like its counterpart, Microeconomics in Context, the book is uniquely attuned to economic, social, and environmental realities. The "In Context" books offer engaging coverage of current topics including policy responses to recession and inflation, inequality, deficits and government debt, economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the economics of environmental sustainability.
This fourth edition includes:
Improved and concise discussions of introductory topics, especially on key economic activities, macroeconomic goals, and economic models
Further emphasis on inequality, environmental sustainability, financialization, the changing nature of work, and international developments such as the role of transnational corporations and supply chain issues
Discussion of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on macroeconomic factors like well-being, inequality, and labor markets
Presentation of policy issues in historical, environmental, institutional, social, political, and ethical contexts, including an updated discussion of fiscal policy in relation to the Biden administration's infrastructure and social investment spending
Clear explanations of basic economic concepts alongside more in-depth analysis of macroeconomics models and economic activity
This book combines real-world relevance with a thorough grounding in multiple economic paradigms. It is the ideal textbook for modern introductory courses in macroeconomics.
