Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Why is the standard of living in some countries so much higher than in others? Why does money sometimes flow in and out of a country so rapidly leaving the exchange rate trailing in its wake? When, if ever, should governments borrow to finance spending? Why does the stock market fluctuate so much and what is its connection with interest rates?
 
Written with a strong global business focus, Miles and Scott's Macroeconomics: Understanding the Wealth of Nations, Second Edition examines fascinating real-world economic issues, shows why these issues matter, and uses them as an entry point into advanced economic theory. Throughout, the authors present technical material clearly and accessibly, allowing you to develop a solid understanding of the global economy and how economists think about it.
