Macroeconomic policy [electronic resource]: demystifying monetary and fiscal policy (Google eBook)

Farrokh K. Langdana

Springer, 2009 - Political Science - 286 pages

Macroeconomic policy is an applications-oriented text designed for individuals who desire a hands-on approach to analyzing the effects of fiscal and monetary policies. MBA and Executive MBA students who appreciate the importance of monetary and fiscal analysis will find this text to be right on target. Financial analysts and individual investors who need to strip away economic myths and jargon and systematically examine and understand the effects of macro policies on variables such as inflation, output, employment and interest rates, will also find the book extremely useful. A unique feature of this book is the extensive use of specially written 'newspaper' articles designed to simulate current macroeconomic news. Each chapter contains exercises that enable the reader to relate specific underlined passages in these articles to the theory presented in preceding chapters. This distinctive approach ensures real-world applicability, and supporting diagrams further enable the reader to relate current economic news to the theoretical material discussed.

A really good book to understand macro economic concepts and policies. Was prescribed this as part of an MBA class and it was definitely one of the most useful and practical books I have read to understand the current global financial crisis.
