Macroeconomics

by Rudiger Dornbusch

Dornbusch, Fischer, and Startz has been a long-standing, leading intermediate macroeconomic theory text since its introduction in 1978. This revision retains most of the text’s traditional features, including a middle-of-the-road approach and very current research, while updating and simplifying the exposition. This revision focuses on making the text even easier to teach from. The only pre-requisite continues to be principles of economics.

The trio has done a perfect work to take out the discourse fo macroeconomy from the pages of textbooks to common life. They have done a pretty good job in dealing with macroeconomics theories with the help of updated data and easy t understand graphs.

A whole lot of IS–LM models.

Something I read for Macroeconomics classes during University.

Highly technical. Miraculously, I approved.

Full of Keynesian BS. Almost a complete waste of time.

[Vysloczil · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent introductory Macro book. The provided instructor materials by the publishing house are quite ok but quite full of (minor) errors and typos.

Of course it is mainly Keynesian stuff (as with any Macro introduction), but as compared to other books like Blanchard they give sufficient room for the classical view.

Wonderful written book for basic understanding of Economy.
How different actions affect economy of a country and how one country's economy affects others'?
To find answers of these questions one must go for this book.

Anotação pessoal:

Li alguns capítulos interessante e gostei. Como a macroeconomia aborda vários tópicos que podem ser lidos em outros livros específicos, deixei de ler esses tópicos.

Vou pegar o livro de monetária, política fiscal brasileira e outros tópicos específicos

This book goes parallel to Mankiw's Macroeconomics but it's deeper than that. Also it has better exercises! So, if you can handle, this is your better introductory textbook than Mankiw.

[Crisandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read both Mankiw’s and this one but this book is more comprehensive and easy to understand. I like how it was written and how brief the explanations were.

Suffered, but got through it triunfally!

wow..I guess I was the only one who rates this book...nobody reads text book anymore??basic about macrosupply/demand..monetary policies and fiscal policies..BUT until we found out why the Fed has the power to print money? and people wonder why USD is the global trading standard (fiat money/petro dollar)? think about that...hint: Fiat money, End the Fed..

It was very well written. Thanks to my professor, I understood the concepts more quickly. Although the bad side of this book is that it has too many complicated formulas that aren't really that needed in an undergraduate setting.
