Synopsis

Guell's Issues in Economics Today presents economic theory brought to life through current issues with an engaging, conversational style. The 7th edition includes 8 theory chapters introducing the core topics in microeconomics and macroeconomics, and a selection of 35 short issues chapters, from which instructors can pick and choose the issues of most interest to their students. This format allows maximum flexibility for instructors to lay a foundation of theory first or dive right into coverage of today's current issues. In addition, issues can be organized along themes such as social policy, election year issues, international issues, and business issues, or combined with outside content. Guell's 7th edition provides content that is timely and relevant for students, flexible enough to fit any course design.

About this title

About the Author:

Dr. Robert C. Guell (pronounced "Gill") is a professor of economics at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana. He earned a B.A in statistics and economics in 1986 and an M.S. in economics one year later from the University of Missouri-Columbia. In 1991, he earned a Ph.D. from Syracuse University, where he discovered the thrill of teaching. He has taught courses for freshmen, upper-division undergraduates, and graduate students from the principles level, through public finance, all the way to mathematical economics and econometrics. Dr. Guell's passion for teaching economics led him to request an assignment with the largest impact. The one-semester general education basic economics course became the vehicle to express that passion. Unsatisfied with the books available for the course, he made it his calling to produce an all-in-one readable issues-based text.
