The idea for this book came about because of my inability to find a book like this. When I taught Principles of Macroeconomics in the past, I was always compelled to assign a collection of outside readings to supplement my lectures because Austrian business cycle theory isn’t covered or taught by the mainstream textbook writers. This short book, a product of my lectures, is designed to fill this long-standing gap at last.
Austrian economists argue that macroeconomics must be built upon microeconomic foundations. Once we understand how the smaller parts of an economy work together can we begin to understand how the larger system works. In this book I construct a model to illustrate macroeconomics from an Austrian perspective.
