Description:

The text is comprised of cases developed by the author for use in teaching his Intermediate Macroeconomics course at the Harvard Business School. It offers both beginning and advanced students a framework of carefully-chosen macroeconomic cases that resemble events to which they will be exposed in their business careers and daily lives. Each case provides real-world detail with the necessary background material for supporting arguments on both sides of controversial issues. In using these cases, students not only learn macroeconomic concepts, they also learn to refine their judgment and decision-making skills.
