Book excerpt: Economic Issues and Policy 8ed is an up-to-date textbook for economics, general education, and secondary education college students who wish to learn about the economics of today's issues including inequality, racism, criminal justice, homelessness, education, healthcare, world poverty and much more. The discussion of issues in this book is lively, relevant, and current. Students are provided with a left/right framework from which to position their own viewpoints. This edition of the textbook takes note of the times, which are ridden with divisiveness and polarity, and are troubled by inequality, racism, climate change, conflict, COVID-19, and now suddenly, a war in Europe. Amidst all this, as we struggle to the future, we note that "two of the most basic structural pillars underlying our economy are inequality and racism, reflecting a contempt for the poor, the immigrant, and the members of racial and ethnic minorities."

Download or read book Economic Issues Today written by Robert B. Carson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in non-technical, everyday language that is accessible to the undergraduate audience, and requiring no background in economic analysis, this acclaimed text provides a unique approach to understanding what the practice of economics is all about. The authors address fourteen current economic issues, covering both micro- and macro-economics, and offer analyses and proposed solutions for each from Conservative, Liberal, and Radical perspectives. This new edition incorporates critical changes in economic policy since the last edition that affect every issue covered in the text. Tables have been updated throughout to include current economic data, and an all-new section on social policy frames the current debate about the Social Security system. 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. An instructor's manual with a test bank and discussion questions is available to professors who adopt the text, and Power Point downloads are available as teaching aids. The text is also available in two separate volumes: Microeconomics Today and Macroeconomics Today.

Download or read book The Economics of Health and Health Care written by Sherman Folland and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Folland, Goodman, and Stano’s bestselling The Economics of Health and Health Care text offers the market-leading overview of all aspects of Health Economics, teaching through core economic themes, rather than concepts unique to the health care economy. The Eighth Edition of this key textbook has been revised and updated throughout, and reflects changes since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In addition to its revised treatment of health insurance, the text also introduces the key literature on social capital as it applies to individual and public health, as well as looking at public health initiatives relating to population health and economic equity, and comparing numerous policies across Western countries, China, and the developing world. It provides up-to-date discussions on current issues, as well as a comprehensive bibliography with over 1,100 references. Extra material and teaching resources are now also available through the brand new companion website, which provides full sets of discussion questions, exercises, presentation slides, and a test bank. This book demonstrates the multiplicity of ways in which economists analyze the health care system, and is suitable for courses in Health Economics, Health Policy/Systems, or Public Health, taken by health services students or practitioners.
Download or read book Economic Issues and Policy written by Jacqueline Brux and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 2007-06-12 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides students with a grasp of basic economic tools through the analysis of important economic issues and their related policy perspectives. Economic theory is presented in a simple, market-oriented framework at a level of technicality that is deliberately appropriate for a basic first course in economics directed at non-majors. Complex topics more appropriate for a Principles of Economics course are left out or contained in appendices. In analyzing economic situations and the implications of policies, liberal and conservative viewpoints are effectively balanced -- the careful presentation of conservative and liberal viewpoints is one of the unique characteristics of this book.

Download or read book Economics written by R. Glenn Hubbard and published by . This book was released on 2024-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Our approach in this new edition remains what it was in the first edition: to provide students and instructors with a text that delivers complete coverage of economic topics using many real-world examples. Our goal from the beginning has been to teach economics in a "widget-free" way by using real-world business and policy examples. It's an understatement to say that much has happened in the economy since our last edition appeared. The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the economy as nothing else has in the lifetimes of today's students (and instructors). Congress, the Trump and Biden administrations, and the Federal Reserve responded to the severe recession of 2020 with fiscal and monetary policies that were also unprecedented. Partially as a result, the U.S. economy experienced the highest rates of inflation in 40 years. We have incorporated these developments in the new real-world examples and policy discussions in this edition and also in the extensive digital resources"--

Download or read book US Economic Policy in the 21st Century written by Alexandros Mourmouras and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses major economic problems affecting the United States and proposes policy reforms to target them. The authors use a broad survey of economic research to conduct an evidence-based assessment of four economic issues affecting the US and other developed nations: slowing economic growth, unsustainable public debt increases, widening wage inequality, and climate change. Finding that the problems are interconnected and should be dealt with in a comprehensive manner, the authors explain how current policies have contributed to the issues and make recommendations on policy reforms. All four issues are examined in one place and the resulting policy recommendations form a consistent plan to mediate the problems simultaneously. Providing a comprehensive approach to some of economic policy’s most difficult problems, this book will be an excellent resource for students and researchers interested in macroeconomic theory, public sector economics, international economics, labor economics, and environmental economics.
