| Summary: | "Now revised and updated throughout to reflect critical changes in economic policy, and including all-new coverage of the current debate on the Social Security system, this acclaimed text provides a unique approach to understanding what the practice of economics is all about. In non-technical, everyday language, it covers current macroeconomic issues and offers proposed solutions from Conservative, Liberal, and Radical perspectives." "The book's unique approach stimulates critical thinking on everyday issues that traditional texts either ignore or present as "settled" debates. It helps students to understand the dual role that ideology and logical/empirical argumentation play in economics. Issues are presented as stand-alone subjects that can be read in any sequence and used to supplement a wide range of principles of economics texts."--BOOK JACKET. |
