Schiller’s Essentials of Economics is the market leader for the one-semester survey course, praised for its strong policy focus and core theme of seeking the best possible answers to the basic questions of WHAT, HOW, and FOR WHOM to produce. The 9th edition is benefitted by SmartBook, the first adaptive reading experience designed to engage students with the content in an active and dynamic way, as opposed to the passive and linear reading experience they are used to. As a result, students are more likely to master and retain important concepts in the survey course. As in previous editions, students are confronted early on with the reality that the economy doesn’t always operate optimally, either at the macro or micro level, and are encouraged to examine the policy challenge of finding the appropriate mix of market reliance and government regulation that generates the best possible outcomes. In addition to the suite of resources available within Connect Economics, over 100 key topics are reinforced with interesting and innovative videos on YouTube, provided to help non-majors see the relevance of economics. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective.
This text is designed for courses in poverty, discrimination, urban problems, and welfare offered by departments of economics, sociology, urban studies, education, and social work. The book features: the latest (1998) poverty profiles, including special Census Bureau tabulations undertaken specifically for the Schiller text; up-to-date discussions of major policy initiatives, including welfare reforms, child support, healthcare, and job training; a detailed discussion of the new welfare (TANF) system and an assessment of its impact on welfare caseloads and poverty; an assessment of the affirmative action reversals in California, Texas and elsewhere; illustrations and assessments of the interplay between business cycles, poverty, and discrimination; and an expanded discussion of the minimum wage.
The Economy Today is exceptionally well suited for this task. From its inception, this text has been motivated by policy issues. The primary goal has been to help students understand the challenges of economic pol-icy and the consequences of specific actions like tariffs, regulation, and tax reform. It has always provided a bal-anced discussion of these issues, allowing students to assess different perspectives on critical issues. For this edi-tion, instructors will particularly appreciate the unique chapters that provide a solid foundation for explaining, illus-trating, and assessing major Trump initiatives. Chapter 16, for example, is devoted to supply-side theory, a core foundation of Trumponomics. Students can explore the theoretical basis for tax cuts, deregulation, and immigration reform. Chapter 35 on international trade goes beyond the theory of comparative advantage to explain why and how some market participants seek to erect trade barriers. The unique chapter devoted to deregulation (Chapter 27) ex-amines the rationale for government regulation of industry, the inherent trade-offs, and the consequences of (de)regulation. The same kind of insistence on critical thinking about policy issues is apparent in Chapter 28 on envi-ronmental protection"--

The authors teach economics in a relevant context, filling chapters with the real facts and applications of economic life. Schiller is also the only principles text that presents all macro theory in the single consistent context of the AS/AD framework.
