Loose-Leaf the Microeconomy Today

Beschreibung

POLICY-ORIENTED RELEVANCY, READABILITY, RELIABLILITY The Micro Economy Today has long been recognized as the most policy-oriented introduction to economics. The text begins by depicting the President of the United States as the "Economist in Chief" and mentions some of the policy decisions he confronts. Every chapter emphasizes that theme by highlighting and analyzing policy issues. Every edition continues to be updated to present the latest, most pressing policy issues. The 17th edition is no exception, filled with the latest in economic trends, policy, and data, as well as examples using topics ripped from today's headlines that will resonate with students and help them connect concepts they're learning to the real-world and deepen their understanding in a way that they can relate to and is meaningful. The relevancy and readability of the 17th edition are reinforced with a variety of unique features, all-new questions and problems and robust integration with Connect. The authors have worked to ensure The Micro Economy Today is tightly integrated with the adaptive digital tools and dynamic interactive resources available in Connect. Connect is proven to increase student engagement and success. For professors, there is also an updated instructor guide to bring new ideas to your course, no matter the format.

Social Security, and lifetime wage patterns have appeared in both professional journals and popular media. Dr. Schiller is also a frequent commentator on economic policy for television and radio, and his commentary has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Los Angeles Times, among other major newspapers.
