Economics: Principles & Policy

Take a strong policy-based approach to teaching introductory economics with Baumol/Blinder/Solow's leading ECONOMICS: PRINCIPLES AND POLICY, 14E. Originally written by two of today's most respected economists, this new edition adds insights from economic leader and author John Solow. As one of the most up-to-date economics texts available, this edition highlights today's most recent economic events and policy developments with data as recent as 2018. The authors skillfully connect current events to concepts with an appropriate level of rigor and detail. This edition closes with a new chapter on today's most important U.S. economic problems and policy debates. To help personalize your teaching experience, MindTap is available with readings, videos, activities and assignments that guide students in analyzing, applying and improving thinking skills. In addition, you can add Aplia®, today's best-selling online homework solution, now optimized for mobile devices with improved graphing, tutorials and a new interactive eReader.
