This book's Approach
Although macroeconomists share a common body of knowledge, they do not all have the same perspective on how that knowledge is best taught. Let me begin this new edition by recapping four of my objectives, which together define this book's approach to the field.
Part I Introduction
Part II Classical Theory: The Economy in the Long Run
Part III Growth Theory: The Economy in the Very Long Run
Part IV Business Cycle Theory: The Economy in the Short Run
Part V Macroeconomic Policy Debates
Part VI More on the Microeconomics Behind Macroeconomics
