Surprise Your Students… Energize Your Teaching!
The newest, most up-to-date Economics textbook available!
Textbook Features
Economics: New Ways of Thinking shows students how to find economics in unusual and surprising places. It grabs their attention with real-world examples - the NFL draft, iPod design, rock concert ticket prices, NASCAR - and then provides clear explanations and hundreds of supporting graphs and charts to teach students solid economic principles. Students learn these basic principles in the context of globalization - a process rarely covered in any other economics textbooks.
The unique features of Economics: New Ways of Thinking textbook program include:
| Why It Matters - Each chapter opens with an explanation of what the subject of that chapter means to economics, society, and students |
Economics in the Real World - Students learn to think like economists by answering engaging questions such as "Are You Nicer to Nice People?" "Why Didn't Chris Rock Go to College?" and "Why Did British Troops Wear Bright Red Uniforms?" |
Economics Around the Clock - Each chapter also opens with the short descriptions of daily events that involve economics-accompanied by pertinent questions to help get students thinking |
A Student Asks - Throughout the text the author anticipates questions students will have as they read and answers them in friendly, conversational language rarely found in economics textbooks. |
Economics on the Web - Students are given links to Web addresses so they can find for themselves the most current, up-to-date economic data. |
Your Personal Economics - The increasing value of education in a global economy, the psychology of credit cards, and how to avoid scams and economic bubbles are some of the topics students encounter. |
Debating the Issues - In these imaginary conversations people debate today's economic issues, providing you with a kick off for class discussion. |
The Global Impact - Vignettes in every chapter heighten students' understanding of globalization. |
| Examples! Examples! Examples! - No text provides as many interesting, relevant examples immediately following the introduction of new concepts. |
| By the Numbers - Pertinent statistics relate economic concepts to real-word measures |
| Quotes - Insightful words from economists and economic thinkers provide food for though and discussion |
| Photos and Exhibits - Photos and exhibits throughout the text highlight key concepts and pose thought-provoking questions to engage students |
Economics: New Ways of Thinking breaks new ground in the teaching of economic principles by:
Makes Economics Fun and Exciting for Students
- Shows students that economics isn't something that only happens in banks or on Wall Street.
- Students learn to think in a new way - to see and use economics in their everyday lives.
Opens Students' Eyes to the Impact of Globalization
- Charts and graphs bring economics alive and help students think like an economist
- Dedicated chapter combines economic systems and an introduction to the causes, benefits, and costs of globalization.
- Global Impact features provided in every chapter relate globalization to wages, employment, productivity, and trade.
Other Economics textbooks talk about isolated economic activities in countries around the globe. Only EMC's economics textbook teaches real globalization - the ways in which world economies are becoming more and more interrelated.
