Designed to help students gain the analytical skills needed to examine the changes in the economy of the late-20th century, this textbook looks at information from a variety of sources such as elections, televized debate and newspaper editorials, to demonstrate how the media and political wranglings affect changes in today's economy. The book also includes a "Thinking Critically About the Media" feature that enables students to interpret and understand the news they hear.
Students learn best when they see concepts applied to examples from their everyday lives.
With an abundance of relentlessly current examples, new chapter openers, and revised data, the updated fifteenth edition of

Also available with the updated edition,
