A Concise Guide to Macroeconomics

To be successful, executives and managers need to understand not only their immediate, microeconomic environment, but also the larger economic picture and how it relates to them. Unfortunately, the teaching of this big-picture, macroeconomic understanding is relegated almost entirely to bulky textbooks in undergraduate or professional school courses. What we need is a concise primer on macroeconomics for managers and executives.In A Concise Guide to Macroeconomics: Understanding the Big Picture, David Moss leverages his more than 10 years' teaching experience at Harvard Business School to lay out important macroeconomic concepts in engaging, clear, and concise terms. One of the book's most appealing and useful aspects is the simple and unorthodox breakdown of the material into "output," "money," and "expectations." In addition, Moss introduces powerful tools for interpreting the big-picture economic developments that shape events in the contemporary business arena. Detailed examples are also drawn from history to illuminate the author's ideas.A long-needed volume, Macro for Managers is destined to become a staple in MBA courses -- as well as the go-to resource for executives and managers at all levels seeking to brush up on their knowledge of macroeconomic dynamics.
