Description
Brad DeLong's "Macroeconomics" offers a new approach to the subject. Drawing upon his vast experience teaching, researching, and advising the U.S. government on Economy policy has enabled him to write an intermediate macroeconomics text that will set the standard for books in this area for years to come. For example, DeLong focuses on the interest rate rather than the AS/AD diagram and he includes expanded coverage of the crucial topic of long-run growth. His lively text is modern, provides extensive insight into economic policy, incorporates a strong international perspective, and offers a broad historical perspective. Because of all the happenings in the macroeconomy since September of 2001, we are publishing a special "Updated Edition Value Package" of DeLong. This "Updated Edition" covers such important topics as the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and their remarkably strong but apparently short-lived effects on production and employment, the recession, the Argentinean financial crisis and more. The "Updated Edition Value Package" also includes the high-quality "Study Guide", written by Martha Olney at University of California-Berkeley.
