Economics is global and the Eighth Edition of PRINCIPLES OF MACROECONOMICS, International Edition maintains the hallmarks of the Melvin/Boyes series -accessible writing, strong pedagogy, and integration of global economic issues -while faithfully presenting the latest thinking of economists on important macroeconomic phenomena. The authors have carefully integrated their popular pedagogy, cutting-edge teaching and learning technology, and a full range of supplements to create a complete program that clearly illustrates the connections between key macroeconomic principles and real-world business practices.

In addition, PRINCIPLES OF MACROECONOMICS, 8e, International Edition provides an in-depth exploration of one of today's most significant issues -globalization -and its impact on economic growth and poverty, including a comparison of international standards of living and Global Business Insight features that illustrate macroeconomic concepts with examples from around the world.
