Essentials of economics / by Bradley Schiller. - International student ed., 7th ed. - New York : London : McGraw-Hill Irwin ; McGraw-Hill [distributor], 2009. - xxviii, 398 p. : ill. ; 28 cm.
Previous ed.: Boston: McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2007. Includes index.

This new text for one-term Survey of Economics courses has a two-fold goal: to focus on essential economic concepts and to make them interesting to students. To meet the first goal, the author carefully pruned the Table of Contents to include only those topics which constitute the core of economic concepts. To meet the second, he called on his proven ability to bring economic policy and theory to life, especially by including real-world applications throughout the book, making students feel that economics is a very real-world concern and motivating them to learn more about the basic economic concepts. Also available: instructor's manual (ISBN 0-07-056296-2); and study guide (ISBN 0-07-056295-4).
