Mankiw’s Macroeconomics has been the number one book for the intermediate macro course since the publication of the first edition. It maintains that bestselling status by continually bringing the leading edge of macroeconomics theory, research, and policy to the classroom, explaining complex concepts with exceptional clarity. This new edition is no exception, with Greg Mankiw adding emerging macro topics and frontline empirical research studies, while improving the book’s already exemplary focus on teaching students to apply the analytical tools of macroeconomics to current events and policies.

Preface
An economist must be “mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher,
in some degree . . . as aloof and incorruptible as an artist, yet sometimes
as near the earth as a politician.” So remarked John Maynard Keynes,
the great British economist who, as much as anyone, could be called the father
of macroeconomics. No single statement summarizes better what it means to be
an economist.
As Keynes’s assessment suggests, students who aim to learn economics need
to draw on many disparate talents. The job of helping students find and develop
these talents falls to instructors and textbook authors. My goal for this textbook
is to make macroeconomics understandable, relevant, and (believe it or not) fun.
Those of us who have chosen to be professional macroeconomists have done so
because we are fascinated by the field. More important, we believe that the study
of macroeconomics can illuminate much about the world and that the lessons
learned, if properly applied, can make the world a better place. I hope this book
conveys not only our profession’s accumulated wisdom but also its enthusiasm
and sense of purpose.
