Macroeconomics in Context: ` 2nd Edition

“Macroeconomics in Context excels at presenting macroeconomic theory in a way that students can understand. As a bonus, it exposes students to issues–such as the environmental costs of production and the wider determinants of well-being–that soon will be at the center of economic policy-making.” — Eric Nilsson, California State University, San Bernardino

“Macroeconomics in Context is the best text I’ve seen for undergraduate teaching. By paying attention to the challenges we face today, such as environmental degradation and social issues, it lets students readily see why [the subject of] economics is important to learn. This text gives students the basics while raising questions about how we can do better.” — Valerie A. Luzadis, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse

“After reviewing fourteen macroeconomics textbooks, looking for an alternative to obsolete ideas of infinite GDP growth with little consideration of environmental or social costs, I selected Macroeconomics in Context. … This was the only book I found that covers mainstream theory while putting it into a social and environmental context–a much needed updated approach to macroeconomics.” — Gary Flomenhoft, University of Vermont

“I like this text very much. I like that environmental concerns are part of the discussion. I also like the no-frills presentation and the low price.” — Tom White, Assumption College (on the previous edition)
