{"product_id":"9781350323711","title":"The Macroeconomics Anti-Textbook : A Critical Thinker's Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eMainstream textbooks present economics as an objective science, free from value judgements. This book demonstrates this to be a myth - one which serves to make such textbooks not only off-puttingly bland, but also dangerously misleading in their justification of the status quo and neglect of alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this much-needed companion volume to the popular Microeconomics Anti-Textbook, Tony Myatt reveals how the blind spots and methodological problems present in microeconomics continue to exert their influence in mainstream macroeconomics. From a flawed conception of the labour market, to a Pollyana view of the financial sector, macroeconomic principles as they are set out in conventional undergraduate textbooks consistently fail to set out a realistic, useful, or equitable framework for understanding the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy summarising and then critically evaluating the major topics found in a typical macroeconomics textbook, the Anti-Textbook lays bare their sins of omission and commission, showing where hidden value judgements are made and when contrary evidence and alternative theories are ignored. The Macroeconomics Anti-Textbook is the student's essential guide to decoding mainstream macroeconomic textbooks, and demonstrating how real-world economics are much more interesting than most economists are willing to let on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48224810991851,"sku":"EB_SS0900_D14-01_SIMS","price":54.5,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781350323711-1.jpg?v=1781676287","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781350323711","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
