Abstract
In this paper, the two books called “Macroeconomics” by Rahmani and Branson are examined as textbooks for undergraduate and postgraduate courses respectively using an analytical approach and in terms of being updated. The analytical approach of both textbooks is based on the traditional framework in teaching macroeconomics and the Neoclassical-Keynesian synthesis. In order to realize whether they presented updated material, both textbooks were compared with two standard textbooks in Macroeconomics. Some of the concepts and topics not covered in Rahmani’s textbook in comparison to Blanchard’s are mentioned in this paper. The concepts and topics in Romer’s Macroeconomics which are not examined in Branson’s textbook are also discussed.
