Real World Macro, 20th edition, is a lively, thought-provoking supplement to introductory and intermediate macroeconomics 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. It also takes a critical look at international trade and finance, covering such topics as the debt crisis and arguments for and against "free trade." 
The twentieth edition contains new chapter introductions reviewing the concepts examined in each article, and discussion questions relating them to a standard textbook. While Real World Macro is an excellent supplement to any mainstream text, its articles have also been keyed to David Colander’s popular textbook, Economics, 5th edition, and its macroeconomics "split." 
Real World Macro's readable articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars &amp; Sense, the bimonthly magazine of popular economics. Dollars &amp; Sense also publishes the books 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.

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.

Few economics programs today offer students the opportunity to study the history of economic thought or the philosophical foundations of diverse schools of economics. Introduction to Political Economy reintroduces these ideas into the curriculum by presenting the work of four of the most influential, but now overlooked, economic thinkers of modern times -- Karl Marx, Thorstein Veblen, Jaohn Maynard Keynes, and John Kenneth Galbraith. The revised and expanded fourth edition also provides a fresh look at Adam Smith. The authors present these thinkers' central ideas, including their writings on social class, the role of government in taming capitalist economies, and the misleading assumptions about human behavior in mainstream models. They conclude by presenting classic critiques of monopoly capitalism, and examining the Swedish "middle way" between capitalism and socialism. Introduction to Political Economy is published by Dollars &amp; Sense, the award-winning magazine of popular economics. Dollars &amp; Sense also publishes Real World Macro, Real World Micro, Current Economic Issues, The Wealth Inequality Reader, Real World Globalization, Real World Banking, The Environment in Crisis, and Unlevel Playing Fields: Understanding Wage Inequality and Discrimination.

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, ballooning housing prices, and proposals to privatize Social Security and Medicare. The tenth edition of Current Economic Issues is an invaluable tool for understanding the real world economics behind the headlines. Its 47 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 at the same time that others have made a killing. It takes a close look at the factors that have made labor organizing more difficult, from new laws and regulations, to the rise of Wal-Mart. Three chapters scrutinize the impact of the Bush Administration’s fiscal policies, including rollbacks in social spending, efforts to privatize major government programs, and recent tax cuts. Later chapters uncover the reality behind hot-button issues like offshoring, the falling dollar, energy policy, and the rise of the China export-economy. The final chapters look at the uneven impact of natural disasters, environmental disasters, and epidemics. The book concludes with examples of underreported efforts to advance economic alternatives. A great resource to keep your intro courses fresh, topical, engaging, and accessible. The sharply written, well-researched articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars &amp; Sense, the bimonthly magazine of popular economics. Dollars &amp; 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, Grassroots Journalism, Striking a Balance, and Real World Banking.
