The Macro Economy Today

Rate this book
Brad Schiller's text, The Macro Economy Today , 12e, is noted for three great 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 government 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, and every chapter ends with a policy issue that emphasizes the markets vs. government dilemma. Schiller teaches economics in a relevant context, filling his chapters with the real facts and applications of economic life. Schiller is also the only principles text that presents all macro theory in the single consistent context of the AS/AD framework.

This book taught me a lot about the economy. I'm a little more anxious because of it but that's not the book's fault. It was not a fun or entertaining read but I was able to retain the information.
