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.

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
