The Macroeconomics Anti-Textbook

A Critical Thinker's Guide

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

By summarising and then critically evaluating the major topics found in a typical macroeconomics textbook, The Macroeconomics Anti-Textbook lays bare their sins of omission and commission, showing where hidden value judgements are made and when contrary evidence and alternative theories are ignored. The Macroeconomics Anti-Textbook is the student's essential guide to decoding mainstream macroeconomic textbooks, and demonstrates how real-world economics is much more interesting than most economists are willing to let on.
