Building on the considerable success of previous editions, this fourth edition of Macroeconomics has been further simplified to provide an accessible yet comprehensive analysis of modern macroeconomics within both a European and a global context. Competing theoretical approaches are presented in a clear and balanced manner with continual reference to data and case study examples from the real world. Michael Burda and Charles Wyplosz have produced another excellent textbook that will guide students through challenging and complex issues with enhanced clarity and simplicity.
Difficult style, lack of illustrative examples, striped of any logical methodology...
This book is the worst econ book I have ever read, the author forgot this is an introductory macroeconomics course and instead mixed microeconomics with pointless chapters. Here's my organization of the perfect textbook:
chapter 1, introduction 2, methods and historical development. 3, national income accounting. 4, Growth models. 5, keynesian cross model. 6, Inflation, unemployment and business cycles an introduction. 7, Introduction to money and financial markets. 8, IS/LM 9, Mundel flemming. 10, AS/AD 11, newkeynesianism. 12, monetarism the counter revolution. 13, topics in advanced macroeconomics.
