Description
This text conveys the principles of macroeconomics in a conversational style through a series of extended examples that students should relate and respond to. Students are discouraged from simply memorizing facts and are engaged in active learning. The book maintains a focus on presenting basic concepts in depth and developing the analysis step-by-step, rather than covering hundreds of topics superficially.
