Anyone taken Macro Econ lately?

Question

I'm wanting to see what your Econ 201 Macro principles course objective look like. If you have a syllabus that you would share, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks

Answer 1

Not since my second year of college.

Though it would probably be more interesting now, what with all the mortgage loan problems and $4 gas and all.

But, no, not for about 10 years now.

Answer 2

I'll try to dig it up...
