Macroeconomics: Sarimah Aman Shah and Abd Rashid Mohd Ali (2022)
Macroeconomics: Sarimah Aman Shah and Abd Rashid Mohd Ali (2022)

This edition of macroeconomics is for use in subjects at higher institutions in Malaysia. In line with changes to the economics syllabus, whereby microeconomics and macroeconomics are currently taught as separate subjects, we divide that ground into two different books, with complementary perspectives on the overall subject of the economy. The book on Macroeconomics looks at the economy as a whole and focuses on broad issues such as growth of production, the number of unemployed people, the inflationary increase in prices, government deficits, and levels of exports and imports.
