Streamlined coverage aims to ensure this book offers clear and accessible coverage of macroeconomic topics. There is a balance of theory and applications with "real-world" examples and a "reading between the lines" feature designed to hone students' critical thinking skills.

For six editions, Michael Parkin has written and rewritten with the unwavering goal of opening students' eyes to the economic way of thinking. Using a straight forward, precise, and clear writing style, Parkin puts the student at center stage.

Parkin offers a thorough and detailed presentation of modern economics, including dynamic comparative advantage, game theory, rational expectations, new growth theory, and real business cycle theory.

To promote a rich, active learning experience, Parkin offers a comprehensive online learning environment featuring a dynamic e-book, interactive tutorials and quizzes, daily news updates, and more.

Changes to the Sixth Edition include a new introductory chapter that emphasizes the central role of tradeoffs in economics, a new chapter on Global Stock Markets, all-new Reading Between the Lines, and a full-color Electronic Study Guide CD-ROM packaged with every new textbook for free.
