Abstract
Real World Macro is a lively, thought-provoking supplement to introductory and intermediate macroeconomics textbooks. The new 35th edition asks the big questions that standard textbooks try to avoid: What's so great about growth? Is unemployment natural? Why should inequality matter? Along with covering the basics—monetary and fiscal policy, productivity and investment, inflation and unemployment—Real World Macro also looks at the so-called debt crisis, debates about taxes and their effects on macroeconomic outcomes, and arguments for and against "free trade." Chapter introductions summarize the themes examined in each article, and discussion questions help students relate macroeconomic theories to the latest real-world issues.
