Principles of Macroeconomics has grown out of the author’s experiences teaching economics over the course of more than 30 years. The text is policy oriented and provides an easy-to-understand structure with intuitive models to explain macroeconomic issues. From the beginning it emphasizes three major macroeconomic goals: high economic growth, low unemployment rate, and low and stable inflation rate. The text uses the most recent U.S. macroeconomic data to demonstrate the validity of the theories discussed. Additionally, contemporary and relevant macroeconomic concepts and models, such as inflation targeting and the federal funds market, are used to explain the workings of macroeconomic policies. Finally, the text uses the simple aggregate demand-aggregate supply model to analyze post-1970 recessions as well as the reasons for inflation.
