By setting aside much of the formal apparatus of 'curve-shifting' economics, Macroeconomic Essentials focuses attention just where it should be: on understanding key concepts and on thinking. At the center of real world economics is, after all, the study of human behavior, not the art of mathematical manipulation. -- Lloyd J. Dumas, Professor of Economics, University of Texas at Dallas; author of The Peacekeeping Economy
