A revised structure to the macroeconomics section, beginning with growth, cycles, and issues, before introducing analysis and explanations Learning outcomes and recaps in each chapter, allowing students to track their progress and understanding through the text

Key terms, clearly defined throughout each chapter Review questions and answers in each chapter, to test understanding and application of the topics covered An easy-to-navigate layout and design, with clearly signposted features and photos and figures to illustrate important concepts
