Reddit reviews Macroeconomics (7th Edition)

Here's the economics guide I typically recommend for newcomers:

Pirate a intermediate micro and macro textbook and do the math problems. Mankiw's macro and Krugman's micro are good for basic stuff. For intermediate+ macro textbooks we used blanchard and Sanjay Chugh's for advanced stuff. I forget what textbooks we used for intermediate and advanced micro but any textbook that has math for the models listed below should be good.

The recommended model order I would say is:

• Supply and demand, PPF's
  
• Utility, derive supply and demand curves from them
  
• Basic neoclassical macro(the supply and demand macro). Fractional reserve banking, how interest works, savings=investment. Basic Keynesian stuff like keynesian crosses, multiplier effect.
  
• Game theory+utility and risk for micro practice, Monopolistic competition and monopoly power
  
• Intermediate Keynesian stuff like ISLM, phillips curve for different expectations of inflation.
  
• Solow Swan immediately afterwards.
  
• Trade theory: Ricardian, HO(HO is kinda crappy but you need it in the event of DRS industries), Krugman
  
• More micro stuff but with lagrangians and more utility.
  
• Advanced macro models. In my Uni we did RBC and New Keynesian stuff with inter-temporal euler equations.

For macroeconomics we used 'Macroeconomics: A European Perspective' by Blanchard, Amighini and Giavazzi. It is focused on the eurozone though so I'm not sure how helpful it is. There also seem to be a Canadian version and an international version, the Canadian version is crazy expensive though (at least if I convert it to euros and compare it to my book), or are those normal textbook prices in Canada?

Ai que você se engana

Abel and Bernanke's Macroeconomics is standard mainstream intermediate macroeconomics. Williamson's Macroeconomics introduces new classical Real Business Cycle type modelling. It's useful if you intend to go on to graduate work, especially a PhD in Economics, but I wouldn't recommend it if you just want to build up your economic intuition on how the economy ticks. If you don't want to go on to graduate work, I would recommend Blanchard's Macroeconomics instead of Williamson.
