I'm looking for a good, intermediate economics textbook. I would like to get a few recommendations on intermediate/advanced economics textbooks that are well suited to self-study. I am particularly interested in macroeconomics and development economics. What are the standard books typically assigned in college courses? Which books have been particularly helpful in moving you from a beginner to intermediate understanding of macroeconomics? Also, books that have associated online content (quizzes, tests) are a plus.

When people talk about trends in currency markets, current account deficits, the appeal of asset securitization, the meaning and effects of foreign reserves, the potentially destabilizing effects of hedge funds on global markets, the implications of savings vs.
