Features

Connects with students through up-to-date, inclusive, relatable examples and applications: Currency, diversity, and inclusion are critical components in making economics relatable. The Second Edition has been completely updated to reflect the evolving impact of the coronavirus pandemic, including examples, graphs, and applications. Further, building on the foundation from the First Edition, this text tells different economics stories, appealing to experiences of students from a wider range of backgrounds. The text has also been updated to include more citations from a diverse group of female economists, and the supporting media and instructional resources likewise have an increased emphasis on using inclusive examples, applications, and new, more diverse presenters.
Emphasises critical thinking through a consistent problem-solving pedagogy: The authors’ framework first develops economic intuition in each chapter. A unique problem-solving pedagogy then teaches students to check their understanding by learning how to solve economic problems using relatable, real-world applications. Practice What You Know features, the foundation of this pedagogy, explain the step-by-step process of working single- and multi-part mathematical, graphical, or conceptual problems.
