The nineteenth edition of Real World Macro is a lively and thought-provoking supplement to introductory and intermediate macro-economics textbooks.  Real World Macro asks the questions that standard textbooks largely neglect: What's so great about growth?  Is unemployment "natural"?  What's so new about the New Economy?  Along with covering the basics -- monetary and fiscal policy, productivity and investment, inflation and unemployment -- Real World Macro includes a chapter on major controversies in macroeconomics, such as the legacy of Keynesianism in the United States and the basics of Marxist economic theory.  Real World Macro's readable articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the bimonthly magazine of popular economics.  Dollars & Sense also publishes Real World Micro, Current Economic Issues, Real World Globalization, Real World Banking, The Environment in Crisis, Introduction to Political Economy, and Unlevel Playing Fields: Understanding Wage Inequality and Discrimination.

Real World Macro

The economic news of the last several years has been remarkable--from the collapse of the "New Economy" to the buildup of a war economy. The ninth edition of Current Economic Issues is an invaluable tool for understanding the economics behind the headlines. Its 46 articles offer progressive perspectives on major economic news stories, along the way debunking dozens of myths broadcast by the business press. The book starts with an examination of the recent economic recovery, and explains why so many have been left out of it. It takes a critical look at the crackdown on workersand the labor movement since September 11, 2001, and showcases new labor organizing. Three new chapters scrutinize the Bush administration's fiscal policies, pointing out the problems with tax cuts for the wealthy, rollbacks in social spending, and proposals to privatize Social Security. The final chapters critique the global spread of neoliberalism and the economics of the "War on Terror," and look at underreported efforts to advance economic alternatives. The sharply written, well-researched articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the award-winning magazine of popular economics. Dollars & Sense also publishes Real World Macro, Real World Micro, Real World Globalization, The Wealth Inequality Reader, Introduction to Political Economy, Unlevel Playing Fields: Understanding Wage Inequality and Discrimination, The Environment in Crisis, and Real World Banking.
