Subsequently, the theories of money and interest rates, output and employment levels, and economic growth are discussed. The book ends by providing a policy template for addressing the macroeconomic concerns of unemployment and inflation.

Besides using publicly available data, the contextual description is instantiated using excerpts from works of fiction by Indian authors. |
