Publisher's Synopsis
This pack contains 1 copy of Macroeconomics (Pearson New International Edition) and 1 copy of Economics in Focus: the Global Financial Crisis.
Macroeconomics is widely praised for its ability to present theory as a way of evaluating key macro questions, such as why some countries are rich and others are poor.
Students have a natural interest in what is happening today and what will happen in the near future. Macroeconomics capitalises on their interest by beginning with business cycles and monetary-fiscal policy in both closed and open economy. After that, Gordon presents a unique dynamic analysis of demand and supply shocks as causes of inflation and unemployment, followed by a dual approach to economic growth in which theory and real-world examples are used to compare rich and poor countries.
Virtually every student entering university will have heard about The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and many have been affected by it in some way. This companion text helps you to introduce the GFC and its impact into your classroom and allows your students to see the immediate relevance and application of economic theory.
Economics in Focus has been designed to be easily integrated within an introductory unit; it provides an introduction to the GFC and helps foster analysis and discussion through the inclusion of 6 case summaries of recent news headlines. To help you as an instructor these cases come with guided answers.
