Foundations of Macroeconomics

Author:
Foundations of Macroeconomics was developed on the premise that economics is a core competency for the responsible citizen and a foundation tool for every type of career. The Bade/Parkin package is designed to encourage learning by doing. Each chapter concentrates on a manageable number of core concepts that are called out in the beginning-of-chapter Checklist. Students know what they're expected to learn and are given the chance to apply those lessons to real-world problems. Practice is the cornerstone of the innovative Bade/Parkin approach. A full page Checkpoint-containing a Practice Problem with solution and a parallel Exercise-immediately follows each main idea. Checkpoints serve as stopping points and encourage students to practice using a concept before moving
