Macroeconomic Policy: Demystifying Monetary and Fiscal Policy

Lucas (finance and economics, Rutgers U.) is the 1995 Nobel Laureate economist. Here he emphasizes practical and real-world aspects of fiscal and monetary policy analysis for people who need to do so in the context of their personal or professional lives. Among the features are mock articles he has written at the end of each chapter as analogues of magazine articles that present macroeconomic news to managers.
