Peter Robinson interviews Fresno State Classicist Bruce Thornton about his new book Decline and Fall: Europe’s Slow Suicide.

Aggregate Demand Video Tutorial
www.macrotutor.weebly.com This video is the first in a set of four explaining the Hicks-Hansel model of Keynes’ theory of Aggregate Demand, specifically the IS-LM interpretation.

These topics are usually taught in an intermediate Macroeconomics class, and these videos are intended as a visual aid to further your understanding of the models. This video reviews the components of aggregate demand, income, the consumption function and taxes, finding equilibrium in this short run model, and the factors affecting the slope and position of the aggregate demand curve. These videos are based on the following textbook Dornbusch, Fischer, Startz, Atkins and Sparks. (2005). Macroeconomics, 7th Canadian Edition. mcgraw-Hill
