Macroeconomics is widely praised for its ability to present theory as a way of evaluating key macro questions, such as why some countries are rich and others are poor. Gordon makes extensive use of data, international examples, and case studies throughout, and the Eleventh Edition incorporates critical developments in the field. New topics include the housing bubble and housing wealth, the effect of oil prices on the economy, and the purchase of dollar reserves by China to finance the U.S. import deficit.

Students have a natural interest in what is happening today and what will happen in the near future. Macroeconomics capitalizes on their interest by beginning with business cycles and monetary-fiscal policy in both closed and open economy. After that, Gordon presents a unique dynamic analysis of demand and supply shocks as causes of inflation and unemployment, followed by a dual approach to economic growth in which theory and real-world examples are used to compare rich and poor countries.
