Macroeconomics in Context: A European Perspective lays out the
principles of macroeconomics in a manner that is thorough, up to
date, and relevant to students. With a clear presentation of
economic theory throughout, this latest addition to the bestselling
"In Context" set of textbooks is written with a specific focus on
European data, institutions, and historical events, offering
engaging treatment of high-interest topics, including
sustainability, Brexit, the euro crisis, and rising inequality.
Policy issues are presented in context (historical, institutional,
social, political, and ethical), and always with reference to human
well-being. This book is divided into four parts, covering the
following key issues: The context of economic analysis, including
basic macroeconomic statistics and tools; The basics of
macroeconomic measurements, including GDP, inflation, and
unemployment, as well as alternative measures of well-being, and
the particular structures of the European economies; Methods for
analyzing monetary and fiscal policy, including an in-depth
coverage of the instruments and approaches of the European central
bank and some coverage of an open economy; The application of the
tools learnt to selected macroeconomic issues, such as the euro
crisis, the global financial crisis, public debt, global
development, and environmental sustainability. Far more than any
other existing macroeconomic textbook, this book combines
real-world relevance of the topics covered with a strong focus on
European institutions and structures within an approach that
explains multiple economic paradigms. This combination helps to
raise students' interest in macroeconomics as well as enhance their
understanding of the power and limitation of macroeconomic
analysis. Visit
