At its heart, economics is the science of choice and a study of economic principles that allows us to achieve a more informed understanding of how we make our choices, whether these choices occur in our everyday life, in our work environment, or at the national or international level. The present text represents a common sense approach to basic macroeconomics. It is directed toward all students, but particularly those within business school settings, including students beginning an advanced business degree course of study. It will deliver clear statements of essential economic principles, supported by easy-to-understand examples, and uncluttered by extraneous material; the goal being to provide a concise readable primer that covers the substance of macroeconomic theory. The text begins by explaining key economic principles and defining important terms used in macroeconomic discussion. It uses a single unifying tool--aggregate demand and aggregate supply analysis--to probe differing perspectives on macroeconomic policies. 410 0$a2013 digital library. 410 0$aEconomics and finance collection.$x2163-7628 606 $aMacroeconomics 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $acomparative advantage 610 $aopportunity cost 610 $ademand and supply 610 $aequilibrium 610 $aGDP 610 $abusiness cycle 610 $aaggregate price level 610 $ainflation rate 610 $aunemployment rate 610 $aexpenditure multiplier 610 $afiscal and monetary policies 610 $acrowding-out effect 610 $amoney multiplier 610 $ainternational trade issues 610 $astabilization 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 676 $a339 700 $aBeveridge$b Thomas M$0766575 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910534435803321 996 $aPrimer on macroeconomics$91559812 997 $aUNINA
