Principles of Macroeconomics covers the scope and sequence requirements of most introductory macroeconomics courses. The text also includes many current examples, which are handled in a politically equitable way. The outcome is a balanced approach to both Keynesian and classical views, and to the theory and application of economics concepts. Principles of Macroeconomics has been updated to include current FRED (Federal Reserve Economic) data. Senior Contributing Authors Steven A.
