Readership: Advanced undergraduate students and graduate students in macroeconomics.
Ben J. Heijdra, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Review(s) from previous edition"'This book will be an extremely valuable addition to the reading list for core graduate macroeconomics courses. It provides a fair and balanced account of the different schools of macroeconomic thought and the current state of the discipline. A large number of topics are treated; the sections which cover technical material are particularly praiseworthy. The authors convey a sense of enthusiasm about the subject and show that macroeconomics can, indeed, be exciting.' - Professor John Fender, University of Birmingham
"'This is a good addition to the textbook market. The coverage of topics is comprehensive and it takes students from an intermediate to graduate level with commendable ease.' " - Shaun Hargreaves Heap, University of East Anglia
