[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","For the two-semester principles of economics course.      An intuitive and grounded approach to economics   Get students to think like an Economist using the latest policy and data while incorporating global issues. Macroeconomics, Twelfth Edition builds on the foundation of the previous edition and retains a thorough and careful presentation of the principles of economics. Macroeconomics emphasizes real-world applications, the development of critical thinking skills, diagrams renowned for pedagogy and clarity, and path-breaking technology.     Each chapter opens with one of today's central issues and is then revisited in the chapter ending Economics in the News feature. This Parkin hallmark encourages student to think critically about a news article relating to the issue, demonstrating how thinking like an economist can bring a clearer perspective to and deeper understanding of today's events. Students will begin to think about issues the way real economists do and learn how to explore difficult policy problems to make more informed decisions in their own economic lives.    MyEconLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to personalize learning and improve results. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts.     Please note that the product you are purchasing does not include MyEconLab.         MyEconLab     Join over 11 million students benefiting from Pearson MyLabs.     This title can be supported by MyEconLab, an online homework and tutorial system designed to test and build your understanding.
