Produktbeschreibung

This text introduces students to the interrelationship of politics and economics in American public policymaking: how economic concerns have been legislated into law since Franklin Roosevelt's time, and how politics affects the economy and the making of public policy.

Topics covered include:

• How to measure various indicators of economic performance
• How the U.S. economy works (domestically and internationally)
• How and why policymakers act to stabilize an economy in an economic downturn.
