An Introduction to Macroeconomics ─ A Heterodox Approach to Economic Analysis

This textbook argues that there is an urgent need to consider a heterodox approach to economic analysis, as regards macroeconomic theory as well as policy, that the financial crisis of 2007-08 originated in an essentially wrong approach to working economic systems--thus the failure of all measures to alleviate it--and that a fundamentally different approach to economic analysis in necessary. It covers economics, economic analysis, and economic systems; money, banks, and financial activities; the macroeconomics of the short and long run; the international economy; and recent trends.
