"Fortunately, The Macro Economy Today is exceptionally well suited for this task. From its inception, this text has been motivated by policy issues.

For this edition, in-structors will particularly appreciate the unique chapters that provide a solid foundation for explaining, illustrating, and assessing major Trump initiatives. Chapter 16, for example, is devoted to supply-side theory, a core foundation of Trumponomics. Students can explore the theoretical basis for tax cuts, deregulation, and immigration reform.
