Summary

This special edition of Greg Mankiw’s intermediate macroeconomics text takes the same approach that made the parent text a bestseller, with coverage shaped to address fiscal policy, monetary and exchange-rate policy, deficit reduction, and other critical economic issues from the uniquely Canadian perspective.

Like Mankiw’s Macroeconomics, the Canadian edition teaches fundamentals with exceptional clarity by relating theoretical concepts to vital issues and policy debates, while illustrating those ideas with examples, cases, and research from Canada and Canadian researches. The new edition is significantly updated, with a streamlined version of Greg’s hallmark approach and powerful new digital learning options.
