Expanded coverage of topics including, inequality, financialization and debt issues, the changing nature of jobs, and sustainable development
Thoroughly updated figures and data
A full complement of online instructor and student support materials such as additional tables and data, PowerPoint slides and a study guide
This engaging textbook offers students an excellent guide to macroeconomics. The latest addition to the "In Context" series, it combines real-world relevance with a thorough grounding in multiple economic paradigms.
