Economic Issues and Policy or International Business

Economic Issues and Policy (with Economic Applications Online Product, Info

Author: Jacqueline Brux

This book provides students with a grasp of basic economic tools through the analysis of important economic issues and their related policy perspectives. Economic theory is presented in a simple, market-oriented framework at a level of technicality that is deliberately appropriate for a basic first course in economics directed at non-majors. Complex topics more appropriate for a Principles of Economics course are left out or contained in appendices. In analyzing economic situations and the implications of policies, liberal and conservative viewpoints are effectively balanced—the careful presentation of conservative and liberal viewpoints is one of the unique characteristics of this book.
