The result is that readers learn to apply economics the way real economists do, by evaluating the decisions in their personal and professional lives.

The Economy in the Long Run: At Full Employment: The Classical Model; Economic Growth; Money, the Price Level, and Inflation; The Exchange Rate and the Balance of Payments. The Economy in the Short Run: Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand; Expenditure Multipliers: The Keynesian Model; U.S. Inflation, Unemployment, and Business Cycle. Macroeconomic Policy: Fiscal Policy; Monetary Policy. The Global Economy: Trading with the World.

For all readers interested in macroeconomics.
