Macroeconomics 11th edition

Gregory N. Mankiw

When it comes to explaining Macroeconomics theory, research, and policy, there’s no one better than Mankiw. The number one book for the Intermediate Macro course, you’ll find that this text explains complex concepts with exceptional clarity. This new edition covers the economic impact of the Covid19 pandemic.

An economist must be “mathematician, historian, statesman,
philosopher, in some degree … as aloof and incorruptible as an
artist, yet sometimes as near to earth as a politician.” So remarked
John Maynard Keynes, the great British economist who could be
called the father of macroeconomics. No single statement
summarizes better what it means to be an economist.

As Keynes suggests, students learning economics must draw on
many disparate talents. The job of helping students develop these
talents falls to instructors and textbook authors. My goal for this
book is to make macroeconomics understandable, relevant, and
(believe it or not) fun. Those of us who have chosen to be
macroeconomists have done so because we are fascinated by the
field. More importantly, we believe that the study of
macroeconomics can illuminate much about the world and that the
lessons learned, if properly applied, can make the world a better
place. I hope this book conveys not only our professionʼs wisdom but
also its enthusiasm and sense of purpose.
