About the Book

Brief Principles of Macroeconomics, 9th Edition by N. Gregory Mankiw provides a concise introduction to the key principles of macroeconomics. The book focuses on the concepts students need to understand how economies operate, while using current examples and accessible explanations to connect economic theory with real-world issues.

Understanding Macroeconomic Principles

The textbook covers national income, the cost of living, economic growth, saving and investment, unemployment, money and inflation, open-economy economics, aggregate demand and supply, and monetary and fiscal policy. It also examines the short-run relationship between inflation and unemployment.
