Instructor Details
Guell's Issues in Economics Today brings economic theory to life by presenting current issues in an engaging, conversational style. The 10th edition is a practical and relevant introduction for 1st year survey and issues students and upper-level policy students in other social sciences. Issues in Economics Today contains 8 intensive core theory chapters and 39 shorter issues chapters.
Instructors can select the issues of most interest to their students or create a thematic course using the correlation guide to structure the course around social policy, health and education policy, election year issues, international issues, or business issues. This format allows maximum flexibility for instructors to lay a foundation of theory first or dive right into coverage of today's current issues. Guell's 10th edition provides content that is timely and relevant for students, yet flexible enough to fit any course design.
