Macroeconomics

by Charles I. Jones
New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 2008

Macroeconomics is the most exciting new economics textbook in a generation. Charles Jones distills modern macroeconomics as it is currently practiced—producing the first text to cover modern growth theory at the undergraduate level.

Together with a distinctive focus on problem solving, this clearly written text brilliantly matches accessibility with cutting-edge theory (source: W.W. Norton & Co.).
