# Principles of Macroeconomics

Readings in the table below refer to the course text:

Blanchard, Olivier. Macroeconomics. 3rd ed. Upper Saddle River, N.J.: Prentice Hall, 2003. ISBN: 0130671002.

It is also suggested that students get into the habit of browsing the daily newspaper The Wall Street Journal or The Financial Times or the weekly magazine The Economist at least a couple of times a month; all offer good (and well-written) coverage of economic events, and will provide some context for the course.
