Product Description

Product Description

Macroeconomics Demystified offers students of all levels unique and easy-to-understand explanations of macroeconomic principles.

Macroeconomics Demystified teaches the material in a college-level course in a friendly, informal manner. While covering the whole breadth of the topic, it is not meant to be a textbook, but rather serve as a self-teach companion guide to textbooks. It does not assume any previous knowledge of macroeconomics, microeconomics, or mathematics.

Macroeconomics Demystified offers a clear presentation of concepts, applications, and examples, with the right mix of text and graphics.

From the Back Cover

Become a master of macroeconomics (without formal economics training).

Do you really understand how the business cycle, fiscal policy, and other broad-based economic concepts affect your income, investments, and bank account? Macroeconomics Demystified will make sure you do, providing you with a concise yet detailed introduction to the macroeconomic principles and policies that regularly impact your professional life and financial status.

This unique, hands-on guide uses clear graphs, succinct explanations, and practical examples--along with chapter-ending quizzes and two 60-question final exams--to help you easily grasp this vital and fascinating topic. From fundamental concepts like supply and demand to ways in which government fiscal policy can help or hurt the stock market, it provides a crystal-clear picture of classic macroeconomic concepts and principles and their often unseen influence on everyday life.

Simple enough for a beginner, yet detailed enough for a college student, Macroeconomics Demystified is your clearest and most direct route to understanding macroeconomics.

Here’s everything you need to understand:

  • Basics--The circular flow model, aggregate supply and aggregate demand, money and the federal reserve system, the money market, global economics
  • Goals--Requirements to achieve economic growth, full employment GDP, tools for maintaining price stability
  • Models--the classical model, the Keynesian model, and the monetarist model
  • Policy--Uses of fiscal policy to achieve macroeconomic goals, rules required for effective monetary policy

    Almost a mystery 22 Nov 2005
    By A Customer
    Format:Paperback
    Do you understand the following?

    "Currency depreciation has an inflationary effect and may require contractionary monetary policy, which is inconsistent with a recessionary situation."

    If not this may not be the book for you. It covers the basics fairly well, at least for the reader like me who is a complete novice, albeit mathematically literate. However, it most definitely does not do what it says on the cover. The pace is generally fast and furious and the language only rarely descends to the realms of the everyday.

    The book has good points, the scope is sufficient for the beginner the title might attract and the tests at the end of each chapter are helpful at challenging and reinforcing understanding. I certainly understand much more about the subject than before. However, I am afraid that it was left to me to work through the explainations and remove the mystery.

    Part of my CLEP prep - one of several books.... 5 Mar 2011
    By Sarah M. Menkin - Published on Amazon.com
    Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
    I have the Kindle edition of this book and consider it a valuable part of a collection of books I am using to prepare for the Macroeconomics CLEP. Here's what I particularly like about this one: quizzes at the end of every chapter, detailed explanations with quiz answers, 2 final exams, available on Kindle...
