About.com's Online Macroeconomics Textbook is a set of links to resources on various Macroeconomics topics. As with most online macroeconomics resources this is very much a work in progress, so if there is something you'd like to see covered in more depth please contact me by using the feedback form.

Each Macroeconomics textbook covers the core material in a different order. The order here is adapted from Parkin and Bade's text Economics but it should be fairly close to those in other Microeconomics texts.
