The study of economics should not be highly abstract, but closely
related to real-world events. Principles of Economics in Context
addresses this challenge, laying out the principles of micro-and
macroeconomics in a manner that is thorough, up to date and
relevant to students, keeping theoretical exposition close to
experience. Emphasizing writing that is compelling, clear, and
attractive to students, it addresses such critical concerns as
ecological sustainability, distributional equity, the quality of
employment, and the adequacy of living standards. Key features
include: Clear explanation of basic concepts and analytical tools,
with Discussion Questions at the end of each section, encouraging
immediate review of what has been read and relating the material to
the students' own experience; Full complement of instructor and
student support materials online, including test banks and grading
through Canvas; Key terms highlighted in boldface throughout the
text, and important ideas and definitions set off from the main
text; A glossary at the end of the book containing all key terms,
their definitions, and the number of the chapter(s) in which each
was first used and defined. Updates for the second edition include:
Expanded coverage of topics including inequality, financialization
and debt issues, the changing nature of jobs, and sustainable
development; New material on wage discrimination by race and
gender; an expanded section on labor markets and immigration;
Updated discussion of fiscal policy to include more recent
developments such as the Trump tax cuts; New material on behavioral
economics, public goods, and climate change policy; a new section
on "The Economics of Renewable Energy." This new, affordable
edition combines the just-released new editions of Microeconomics
in Context and Macroeconomics in Context to provide an integrated
full-year text covering all aspects of both micro-and
macro-analysis and application, with many up-to-date examples and
extensive supporting Web resources for instructors and students.
