Economics Today: The Macro View plus MyEconLab plus eBook 1-semester Student Access Kit, 20/E, by Roger LeRoy Miller (Pearson, 2020). There are several alternatives/formats available to buying the expensive hard copy of the book. I.e. the eBook can be purchased online when you log into MEL (MyEconLab).

Be careful. The cover of Economics Today: The Macro View is almost identical to the cover of Economics Today: The Micro View.

Some version of the textbook, new, used, or eBook, is required. So is access to the course's MyEconLab site.

This is a traditional Introduction to Macroeconomics college textbook. If you buy this text new, an access kit granting you access to the online homework site (MyEconLab) usually is included and the associated eBook often has been added as well. But read the fine print to find out what you buy or rent if not from ACC. Especially it is at a very affordable price.

You can buy the eBook and MyEconLab together as a package without the hardcopy of the textbook if you want to. Instructions on how to do it can be found below.

You can buy used copies of this text also. In fact, I see little reason why you couldn't use the 19th edition if you can find it. (Hint: Search engines. I have posted the table of contents for the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th editions on the course's ACC Blackboard site.) However, you need to be careful here, because in all probability you will not receive an access kit that has not been used, even if you buy a used 20th edition. So, if you do buy used, you will most likely still need to buy access to MyEconLab. Instructions on how to do this can also be found below.

4. OTHER ONLINE PURCHASE or LOCAL BOOKSTORES: This textbook can be purchased at other online sites and local bookstores as well. Remember to verify that an access code for MyEconLab is included, or you will have to purchase it separately. If you do buy your copy online, purchase it two weeks in as much in advance as you can. Students in previous semesters have told me that their online orders were very slow to arrive. You will receive complimentary access to MyEconlab for 14 days to help.

5. The directions on how to sign up for MyEconLab can be found on BlackBoard.

* Note: Please verify prices for yourself. Prices are for summer 2022 and to the best knowledge of the instructor, but not guaranteed. Unofortunately they tend to increase each semester.
