Modern Money Theory
Modern Money Theory
A Primer on Macroeconomics for Sovereign Monetary Systems, Second Edition
In a completely revised and updated second edition, Randall Wray takes a new approach to macroeconomics that challenges conventional wisdom and uncovers how money 'works' in the modern economy. This book synthesizes the key principles of Modern Money Theory, exploring macro accounting, monetary and fiscal policy, currency regimes and exchange rates in developed and developing nations. Randall Wray addresses the pressing issue of how misunderstandings about the nature of money have caused the current global financial meltdown, and provides fresh ideas about how policymakers around the world should address the continued weaknesses in their economies.

Hey all,
What is a good intro Macro text for an approach including a full expenditure multiplier? This is for an eight week intro to Macro course for an "international MBA", and I gather that students were not happy with a historical / history of thought approach to the subject.
