Macroeconomics help?
Is there a dummy-type book that would help? Can anyone suggest (especially if you've been through the same thing) any good material that will break it down and make it more understandable?
Geesh, I've kept a 4.0 until this class, but it is killing me. This economics class is making me feel stupid.
Answer:
Micheal Parkins would definitely help you out.
its really easy to understand and the terms have been explained in detail with easy to understand concepts.
There actually must be an Economics for Dummies book. There's one for everything else.
I wish I could help. I refused to take econ in college because it sounded so awful; then I had to take 3 courses to keep up my teaching certificate (for social studies). 25 years after college I found I loved it--having lived through inflation, buying a house, mortgage rates, buying stock, being a consumer, and running a small business. Life experience was a huge boost because it all made sense.
well, i am senior student (economics) and it was never hard for me to understand the other things before macro class and my marks are good too (my gpa is 3,45)... so i can understand you.. well i can tell you the name of my course book maybe it helps, olivier blancard, macroeconomics, but i dont live in us so maybe it may be too hard for you, just make me a list about your subjects and lets see what we can do
the only thing i really know to tell you and its not a book..its just what i know...is that in macroeconomics you have to think long term about everything...not about what happens in the short run..thats microeconomics.but how A effects B in the long run and just apply that to everything you discuss. it can really be interesting once you get the hang of it so dont give up!
I know there is a Econ for Dummies book, not sure if there is one for Macro specifically.
Who is the author of your textbook?
Also, there are always the Schaum's guides. They are a reference/study guide series similar to the Dummies books, but a little more serious and technical, usually meant as companions to college courses (probably better for you since you are using this for a class, and not just personal learning.)
The Schaum's book for Macro:

Enjoy! (and let me know the author of your text in the Additional Details, I'll check back!)
I am having a terrible time in this class. Macroeconomics is kicking my butt too.
