Paul,
Why use a text at all. Why not use exerpts from several texts to teach the essential neoclassical stuff and then use more excerpts for Keynesian and Marxian material? A reading pack should be cheaper than most textbooks. Best, Terry Does anyone have a recommendation for a textbook in introductory Macroeconomics that is not oriented to establishing/using the aggregate demand/aggregate supply framework? Last semester I used Case, Fair, and Oster, but wasn't too happy with it. Even though it does not start with AD/AD, still it builds toward it and students can feel that orientation. I prefer an approach closer to Keynes and without emphasis on the price level. Samuelson/Nordhaus has been mentioned to me but the last edition has data only going to 2008 and feels behind the times (the publisher says that the next edition will be 2014, presumably available in 2013).
