| Abstract
|
:
|
This text offers an alternative to the encyclopedic, technically oriented approach taken by traditional textbooks on macroeconomic principles. The goal is not to teach students to shift curves on diagrams but to help them understand fundamental macroeconomic concepts and their real-world applications.
