Main Page > Economics bookshelf > Macroeconomics
Introduction
This online textbook concerns the wonderful world of macroeconomics, or economics on a very large scale, concerning national and international systems. It is primarily aimed at students in their final few years of secondary education, though it could also be used by interested students younger or older than that. Having a background knowledge of economics would be useful, but grasping overall concepts should not require an indepth previous knowledge. Try the economics bookshelf if you want to learn more.
It is worth remembering that this textbook can be edited at any time, with the link at the top of this page. This is both good and bad - you yourself, having spotted a mistake or having noticed a poor definition, can correct it and should feel free to do so. The bad side is that anyone can edit it, so content may be inaccurate whilst the wikibook is in its infancy!
