Brad Schiller's text, The Microeconomy Today, 9/e, is noted for
its three great strengths: readability, policy orientation, and
pedagogy. His accessible writing style engages students and
brings some of the excitement of domestic and global economic
news into the classroom. Schiller emphasizes how policymakers
must choose between government intervention and market reliance
to resolve the core issues of what, how, and for whom to
produce. This strategic choice is highlighted throughout the
full range of micro, macro, and international issues. Every
chapter ends with a policy issue that emphasizes the markets vs.
government dilemma. And Schiller packs his chapters with the
facts of economic life-real stories, not fables. This is a book
that teaches economics in a relevant context and with careful
pedagogy. Schiller 9e is for students motivated by real-world
policy issues who want to become economically literate. This is
a book students actually READ. Schiller is also known for its
cutting-edge and current cover
