Macroeconomics is the study of economics from the perspective of the national economy. Macroeconomics begins with an introduction to economic systems and economic goals, and then addresses major macroeconomic issues including GDP, economic growth, business cycles, inflation, unemployment, fiscal policy, national debt, money, the Federal Reserve System, monetary policy and financial crises. This new resource concludes with a discussion of the different schools of thought and debates in this field.
