“Macroeconomics in Context is the best text I’ve seen for undergraduate teachingBy paying attention to pressing issues of our time, such as environmental degradation and social inequalities, it lets students readily see why the subject of economics is important to learn. This text gives students the basics while raising questions about how we can do better.”
–Valerie A. Luzadis, SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse

"MIC is a comprehensive textbook, allowing custom tailoring for any course. Its broad and critical perspective is invaluable in today's world with social and economic inequality, and makes MIC an oasis in the desert in the economics textbook market.”
–Adem Elveren, Assistant Professor of Economics, Fitchburg State University, MA, USA.
