Product Description
Why is the standard of living in some countries so much higher than in others? Why does unemployment sometimes rise sharply in a short time and what can governments do about it? When, if ever, should governments borrow to finance spending? Written with a strong global business focus, Miles and Scott’s Macroeconomics and the Global Business Environment, Second Edition examines fascinating, real-world economic issues, shows why these issues matter, and uses them as an entry point into advanced economic theory. Throughout, the authors present technical material clearly and accessibly, allowing you to develop a solid understanding of the global economy and how economists think about it.

 Poorly Written April 23, 2008
This was one of the worst text books I've read. The flow and structure is lacking and the calculation examples provided don't correspond to the formulas in the text - making it nearly impossible to extract applicable uses for many calculations. Fortunately my professor provided extensive lecture notes.
If you are able to do so, I would pass on this book...not worth the money.

Yet Another Economics Book! July 26, 2004

This is a good book, designed for students wanting to understand macroeconomics without previous knowledge of the subject matter. However, it addresses advanced topics in an attractive style.
After reading every chapter you will be able to grasp the concept behind the text. However in some chapters you may need to make extra research for you to be able to formulate an understanding of the concept and eventually you may need some case studies that explain the economic implications of the inherent results.
 Not Bad, But A Little Difficult November 6, 2003

Miles and Scott's explanation of some concepts is quite convoluted. Students new to economics will find this text difficult. I recommend the Gans, King, and Mankiw macroeconomics textbook, which is more readable, more colorful, and more enjoyable. I am also looking forward to my lecturer's new textbook.
