The world has changed dramatically in recent years and so has the
field of economics, but many introductory economics textbooks have
remained stuck in the past. This book provides a new beginning for the
study of macroeconomics, fundamentally international in its approach
and emphasizing current debates and research trends. The first, mostly
descriptive half of the book presents the main macroeconomic and
financial patterns observed across the world, the institutions that
govern national economies and the policy options available to
decision-makers. In the second half, different schools of thought in
macroeconomics are introduced with an emphasis on their underlying
assumptions, so that students can judge for themselves how well they
apply in real-world situations. Throughout the book, the post-2007
financial crisis is a continuing focus and financial markets are fully
integrated in the analysis. Policy debates are viewed in light of
political economy considerations, both domestic and international. The
book’s style focuses on in-depth explanations and supports teaching
methodologies based on critical thinking and active learning,
encouraging students to relate to current discussions, especially
those taking place online.
