The Economy Today

The Economy Today is noted for three great strengths: currency, policy focus, and readability. The accessible writing style engages students and brings the excitement of domestic and global economic news into the classroom.. Schiller/Gebhardt emphasizes how policymakers must choose between government intervention and market reliance to resolves the core issues of what, how, and for whom to produce. These strategic trade-offs are highlighted throughout the full range of micro, macro, and international issues, and every chapter ends with a policy issue that emphasizes the market versus government dilemma.. The authors teach economics in a current and relevant context, including the COVID Pandemic of 2020, filling chapters with the real facts and applications of economic life. Schiller/Gebhardt is also the only principles text that presents all macro theory in the single consistent context of the AS/AD framework and uniquely features a full supply-side economics chapter. You will also find the current Economist and Chief, Joe Biden, featured in the opening chapter. . The authors have worked to ensure The Economy Today, 16th edition, is tightly integrated with the adaptive digital tools and dynamic interactive resources available in Connect.
