The Macro Economy Today

Brad schiller's text, the macro economy today, 11e, is noted for three great strengths: readability, policy orientation, and pedagogy. His accessible writing style engages students and brings some of the excitement of domestic and global economic news into the classroom. Schiller emphasizes how policymakers must choose between govern-ment intervention and market reliance to resolve the core issues of what, how, and for whom to produce. This strategic choice is highlighted throughout the full range of micro, macro, and international issues. Every chapter ends with a policy issue that empha-sizes the markets vs. Government dilemma. And schiller packs his chapters with the facts of economic life-real stories and applications.
