Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book is a market leader for the one-semester survey course. In under 400 pages, it provides a solid introduction to the core concepts of economics with an emphasis on real-world examples and current events. "Essentials" has earned its popular success because, unlike other books on the market, it is clean and concise, with many examples of significance to students today, including Headlines and Policy Perspectives that use current events to help illustrate the topics discussed. This real-world policy emphasis is a distinctive feature of Schiller's text and is integral to its dominance of the survey text market. The book features new and revised headlines that illustrate basic economic principles through the use of current events. There is less emphasis on graphs, and more on critical thinking. Students should come away with better-developed analytical skills and be better economic citizens. Numerous new examples relating to pop culture, e-commerce and the New Economy are included.
