Full Description


Highly accessible and relevant in today's economic environment, Economic Issues Today provides a unique approach to understanding what the practice of economics is all about. The authors cover fourteen current economic issues, providing for each an analysis and proposed solution from three different ideological perspectives: Conservative, Liberal, and Radical. Like its predecessors, the seventh edition of Economic Issues Today is written specifically for an undergraduate audience; it requires no background in economic analysis and avoids economic jargon in favor of plain, everyday language. The seventh edition has been updated to include current economic data. An instructor's manual with a test bank and discussion questions is available to professors who adopt this book. In addition, Power Point downloads are available as teaching aids.
