Students learn best when they see a concept applied in the context of examples they understand. That is why Economics Today is so successful in classrooms where students hail from a wide variety of majors, backgrounds, and ages. An abundance of relentlessly current, news-worthy examples motivate every chapter and reflect the interests of today's diverse student population. In this new edition, Miller has responded to the way students use their textbook as a study tool by incorporating new pedagogy to help students study effectively and by giving them more opportunities to practice.
