This book\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates this to be a myth     one which serves to make such textbooks not only off-puttingly bland, but also dangerously misleading in their justification of the status quo and neglect of alternatives.\u003cbr\u003eIn this much-needed companion volume to the popular \u003ci\u003eMicroeconomics Anti-Textbook\u003c\/i\u003e, Tony Myatt reveals how the blind spots and methodological problems present in microeconomics continue to exert their influence in mainstream macroeconomics. From a flawed conception of the labour market, to a Pollyana view of the financial sector, macroeconomic principles as they are set out in conventional undergraduate textbooks consistently fail to set out a realistic, useful, or equitable framework for understanding the world.\u003cbr\u003eBy summarising and then critically evaluating the major topics found in a typical macroeconomics textbook, the Anti-Textbook lays bare their sins of omission and commission, showing where hidden value judgements are made and when contrary evidence and alternative theories are ignored. \u003ci\u003eThe Macroeconomics Anti-Textbook\u003c\/i\u003e is the student's essential guide to decoding mainstream macroeconomic textbooks, and demonstrating how real-world economics are much more interesting than most economists are willing to let on.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46631861223582,"sku":"UBD-9781350323711","price":52.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350323711.jpg?v=1774310500","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350323711","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
