| Abstract: | Macroeconomics has achieved its position as one of the most successful and influential intermediate level textbooks because of its clear and accessible presentation of the main concepts, theories and policy issues. The distinctive feature of the book which has made it an ideal textbook is the exposition of the contrasting Keynesian and Neoclassical approaches and controversies. While keeping the reader firmly in mind the authors go to the core of the key contemporary macroeconomic debates. |
