For intermediate courses in economics.This package includes MyEconLab(R). A Unified View of the Latest Macroeconomic EventsIn Macroeconomics, Blanchard presents a unified, global view of macroeconomics, enabling students to see the connections between goods markets, financial markets, and labor markets worldwide. Organized into two parts, the text contains a core section that focuses on short-, medium-, and long-run markets and three major extensions that offer more in-depth coverage of the issues at hand. From the major economic crisis and monetary policy in the United States, to the problems of the Euro area and growth in China, the text helps students make sense not only of current macroeconomic events but also of events that may unfold in the future. Integrated, detailed boxes in the Seventh Edition have been updated to convey the life of macroeconomics today; reinforce lessons from the models; and help students employ and develop their analytical and evaluative skills. This package includes MyEconLab, an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to personalize learning and improve results.With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts. MyEconLab should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Please be sure you have the correct ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
