The new edition is revised and enhanced, including new interactive graphs, interactive topic reviews, thorough coverage of the Covid recession, and updated analysis of aggregate demand/aggregate supply and monetary policy. Interactive Graphs in the eBook and in a Graphing Bank allow students to engage with economic models to see how components of the graph change as market dynamics change. Every data graph in the text is now interactive, so students can explore live visualizations and improve their data literacy.
Interactive Topic Reviews, with embedded interactive graphs and assessment, cover essential principles topics in an easy-to-use, self-study format, to help students prepare for class time, quizzes, or exams.
New focus on Indias economic growth during Covid, particularly its rise to become a technological powerhouse.
Integrated coverage of the pandemic throughout, including supply chain disruptions, federal funding for vaccine development, how Covid and the lockdown impacted the labour market and certain industries.
New modern examples that resonate with students, such as the day in the life of an Uber driver, selling clothes on Poshmark.
