Samenvatting
Ignite discussion. Connect theory to headlines. Inspire critical thinking. Guell’s Issues in Economics Today brings economics to life through an engaging, conversational style that makes complex ideas accessible and relevant. Designed for both first-year survey courses and upper-level social science students, this text blends eight intensive core theory chapters with forty shorter issues-based chapters, allowing maximum flexibility for instructors. Whether your goal is to spark debate, connect economics to current events, or structure your course around a theme, Guell’s issues-based format ensures that students walk away with the essential theory and the insight to apply it to the world around them.
