The idea for this book came about because of my inability to find a book like this. When I taught Principles of Macroeconomics in the past, I was always compelled to assign a collection of outside readings to supplement my lectures because Austrian business cycle theory isn’t covered or taught by the mainstream textbook writers. This short book, a product of my lectures, is designed to fill this long-standing gap at last.
Austrian economists argue that macroeconomics must be built upon microeconomic foundations. Once we understand how the smaller parts of an economy work together can we begin to understand how the larger system works. In this book I construct a model to illustrate macroeconomics from an Austrian perspective.

Paul Cwik is Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Mount Olive and taught the BB&T courses in Free Market Economics at North Carolina State University.
How much money does an economy need in circulation to function? Austrians believe that a growing economy does not need a growing supply of money, which sets Austrian economics apart from other schools of economic thought.
Frederic Bastiat is an often unsung hero of 19th-century economic thought. His lessons on freedom and trade are timeless and what he wrote nearly two centuries ago is still relevant today.
Paul Cwik revisits the podcast to explain his new book, which aims to simplify ABCT for economics students and professors.
