Macroeconomics: Understanding the Global Economy

By David Miles, Andrew Scott, Andrew Scott, et al.

Book Overview

Macroeconomics: Understanding the Global Economy, 3rd Edition is to help students - and indeed anyone - understand contemporary and past economic events that shape the world we live in, and at a sophisticated level. But it does so without focusing on mathematical techniques and models for their own sake. Theory is taken seriously - so much so that the authors go to pains to understand the key aspects of theories in a way that will not put people off before they see how theories are useful to analyse issues. The authors believe that theories are essential to better understand the world, thus the book includes a wealth of historic and current episodes and data to both see how theories can help interpret the world and also to judge their validity. Economies today are very inter-connected; what happens in China matters pretty much everywhere; and what happens in one (even small) country in the euro zone has implications for the whole euro area and beyond, consequently Macroeconomics, 3rd Edition adopts a very international focus.

Customer Reviews

Miles and Scott Very Good Introduction to World Economy/macroeconomics

This is a very good book and I have found it to be useful for understanding world economics and the broad concepts of Macroeconomics. Combined with The Elusive quest for Growth in the tropics and the Bottom Billion, it would provide a depth about the growth inequalities in the world. This in any case, gives information on how to improve macroeconic performances in an economy. A good read for government officers involved in Macroeconomics and Multinational executives who are chasing the elusive quest for corporate growth across the world.

Great transaction!

Fast shippment

The shippment was excellent. I received the book 5 days after I palced my order!

Yet Another Economics Book!

This is a good book, designed for students wanting to understand macroeconomics without previous knowledge of the subject matter. However, it addresses advanced topics in an attractive style. After reading every chapter you will be able to grasp the concept behind the text. However in some chapters you may need to make extra research for you to be able to formulate an understanding of the concept and eventually you may need some case studies that explain the economic implications of the inherent results.

Definitely worth getting for MBA students and World Leaders!

A great insight into how world economics really works. It's easy to read with examples and diagrams that really help you understand why people behave economically the way they do. To add to this, Andrew Scott is one of the best lecturers to have worked at London Business School.This text should be compulsory for all World Leaders!
