{"product_id":"economic-issues-and-policy-jacqueline-brux-9781732546905","title":"Economic Issues and Policy - 7th ed","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis text is intended for a nontechnical, issues-oriented economics course, usually a 100-level\u003cbr\u003e course at four-year universities. It is often a general education course. The book is also appropriate\u003cbr\u003e for two-year colleges and other institutions, as well as economic education programs for\u003cbr\u003e elementary and secondary teachers. Chapters are designed so that they can be taught in any\u003cbr\u003e order after Chapter 1. Each chapter includes references to other chapters that mention similar\u003cbr\u003e topics. Some of these references are provided in the \"Roadmap\" that begins each chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe goal of this book is to make students aware of social issues in the world around them and to facilitate their understanding of these issues and related policy options from an economic perspective. The hope is this would inspire students to become involved with the issues in order to make this a better world.\u003cbr\u003e Students are often unaware that the important issues of our day, even ones that directly affect\u003cbr\u003e them--the environment, our healthcare system, our educational system, crime and drugs, \u003cbr\u003e and matters as weighty as war and peace--are rooted in economics. Furthermore, students\u003cbr\u003e often set aside as too complex the issues that are recognized as economic, such as unemployment\u003cbr\u003e and infl ation or trade and budget defi cits. They believe that these issues are better left for\u003cbr\u003e the experts. Students need to know that all of these issues are indeed relevant to them and\u003cbr\u003e within their ability to understand. They need to comprehend these issues to make sound\u003cbr\u003e choices and form intelligent opinions. Of course, before students are willing to commit themselves\u003cbr\u003e to the lifelong learning of economics, they fi rst need to be convinced that it is relevant\u003cbr\u003e to their lives and that it is interesting \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacqueline Brux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1732546908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732546905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wessex, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 1.13d","brand":"Jacqueline Brux","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988011548927,"sku":"9781732546905","price":234.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8bad7be7-ef1a-43dd-935c-e920732f7a2e.jpg?v=1683292125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/economic-issues-and-policy-jacqueline-brux-9781732546905","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
