"This text follows a modern approach to macroeconomics by building macroeconomic models from microeconomic principles. As such, it is consistent with the way that macroeconomic research is conducted today. This approach has three advantages. First, it allows deeper insights into economic growth processes and business cycles, the key topics in macroeconomics. Second, an emphasis on microeconomic foundations better integrates the study of macroeconomics with approaches that students learn in microeconomics courses and in economics field courses. Learning in macroeconomics and microeconomics thus becomes mutually reinforcing, and students learn more. Third, in following an approach to macroeconomics that is consistent with current macroeconomic research, students will be better prepared for advanced study in economics."--

When it comes drawing on enduring economic principles to explain current economic realities, there is no one readers trust more than Paul Krugman.

Over five editions, Macroeconomics has remained among the most popular intermediate texts in the field.
