Bradley R. Schiller's text, The Macro Economy Today, 11e, is noted for three great strengths: readability, policy orientation, and pedagogy. His accessible writing style engages students and brings the excitement of domestic and global economic news into the classroom. Schiller emphasizes how policymakers must choose between government intervention and market reliance to resolve the core issues of what, how, and for whom to produce. Every chapter ends with a policy issue that emphasizes the markets vs. government dilemma and presents all macro theory in the single consistent context of the AS/AD framework.
In this edition, Brad Schiller adds a new chapter that will engage students to look beyond their lives on campus and open their eyes to a worldwide struggle—Global Poverty. This new chapter puts emphasis on the facts of global poverty and touches on controversial policy issues that students hear about everyday but may not understand.
