Foundations of Macroeconomics introduces you to economic principles you can use to navigate the financial decisions of your future. Each chapter concentrates on a manageable number of ideas, usually 3 to 4, with each reinforced several times throughout the text. This patient approach helps guide you through unfamiliar terrain and focuses you on the most important concepts and key skills, like reading and interpreting graphs.
