Book question, from Francesco Sabella
Does someone have a great modern macroeconomics book to recommend?
William Huggins responds:
it depends how theory heavy you want it to be. the author i usually recommend is Mankiw but Williamson (intermediate) and Romer (advanced) are good too depending on your needs. for the best "whole picture" i like a CFA publication from 2013 called Economics for Investment Decision Makers, by Piros and Pinto, which gives a great summary of micro, macro, and int'l econ under one roof.
for single-day-beach-reading i bought a casually interested buddy a copy of How Economics Explains the World, by Andrew Leigh, which is a great intro for non-users.
