Parkin's Macroeconomics is a worldwide leader because it provides a serious, analytical approach to the discipline using the latest policy and data. Parkin trains students to think like economists by offering a clear introduction to theory and applying the concepts to today's events, news, and research. From our global food shortage to global warming, economic issues permeate our everyday lives. Parkin brings critical issues to the forefront. Each chapter begins with one of today's key issues, and additional issues appear throughout the chapter to show the real-world applications of the theory being discussed. When the chapter concludes, students "read between the lines" to think critically about a news article relating to the issue, demonstrating how thinking like an economist helps make informed decisions.

In a system of fixed exchange rates like that established at Bretton Woods inflation is an international phenomenon determined by the rate of growth of the world money supply. This monetarist proposition has been rejected by those economists who emphasize national forces in the generation of inflationary pressure, such as trade union militancy, social conflict, etc. The papers in this volume seek to shed light on the debate over the causes of inflation.
