This book presents an exploration of the macroeconomic aspects of economic growth, business cycles, and monetary and trade policy. "Macroeconomics" explains how recent tax cuts have combined with the war on terrorism and slow economic growth to contribute to increasing budget deficits. Also included are discussions of international trade policy, comparative advantage, and outsourcing, as well as valuable Web access to more than 250 minutes of new videos from Paul Solman of the "Lehrer NewsHour."
