Description
This is the only intermediate macroeconomics text to provide substantive content on the economic crisis. The current economic crisis is the worst since the Great Depression: the events themselves and the actions by the Fed and Treasury Department are equally unprecedented. "Macroeconomics: Economic Crisis Update" contains two brand-new chapters that directly address the crisis and present it in terms of the short-run models used in macroeconomics.
Table of Contents
Macroeconomics is arranged in three key sections: the long run, the
short run, and applications. The long-run section includes a modern
presentation of economic growth. The short-run section emphasizes
central banks that set interest rates and developes an intuitive
Aggregate Supply/Aggregate Demand framework with inflation rather
than the price level on the vertical axis. The applications section
explores key policy topics such as the continuing rapid rise in
health expenditures and globalization.
