Macroeconomics Understanding the Global Economy

Reviews of the 2nd Edition: "..a much needed textbook to help them stay interested...a great way to get serious about economics without losing yourself in equations.."
Management Today, December 2001
 
"..an original and interesting macroeconomics text. It is a self-contained volume which any student and teacher of economics within the higher education sector will find extremely useful..."
Economic Outlook and Business Review, Issue 17, Vol 1, March 2002
 
"Macro textbooks tend to run in 2 flavours: 1). the highly technical and mathematical, where for most students the effort to read the book obscures the actual learning 2). the trivial and simplistic. This book by Miles and Scott manages to avoid either pitfall. Mathematics is kept to a minimum (there is no differential calculus in the main body of the text) and the focus is on logical analysis and presentation of data.
The book manages to be straightforward without being simplistic. Very few economics textbooks, in my experience, manage that trick."

"I always thought I would be bored to death by a book on macroeconomics. I was wrong. This is an interesting and suprisingly readable guide to macroeconomics. The many graphics are very clear and complement the text very nicely. I particularly liked the blue appendices highlighting some key relavent issue. For example "Why is Africa so poor?" was a clear account of a very timely issue. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone with even a passing interest in the subject.BUY IT"
