I heard about this via OPE-L member, Jim Devine -- currently residing on PEN-L. / In solidarity, Jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The complete Preliminary Edition of Macroeconomics in Context is currently available to instructors and students for free download from the website of the Global Development and Environment Institute: <http://www.ase.tufts.edu/gdae/publications/textbooks/macroeconomics.html> Macroeconomics in Context incorporates the theoretical content expected in a principles text, but it also delves deeper, offering a fresh understanding of economic realities. Instructors will find that standard topics, including Classical and Keynesian approaches, are covered clearly and succinctly. In addition, questions of ecological sustainability, non-marketed production, the quality of life, and income distribution are given more attention than in standard texts. Taking history, institutions, and environmental constraints seriously, this textbook balances analysis of market processes in the macroeconomy with discussion of public policies that go beyond short-term stabilization targets to promote long-term sustainability and human well-being. The text is the companion to Microeconomics in Context (Goodwin et al., Houghton Mifflin, 2005).
