An exciting text for a new or existing intermediate or advanced issues course. The perfect text for students who may take only one economics course and for business majors fulfilling an economics requirement. With no math, no diagrams (except in the Appendix), and no prerequisites, it could be the basis for one of the most popular courses on campus to fulfill a social science or economics requirement.

A small text modeled after The Elements of Style by Strunk and White, it explains the step-by-step logic of solving economic problems, and lets students apply that knowledge to real-world issues. Instead of telling students they are learning how to use economic knowledge by solving little mathematical problems, it brings the real world into the classroom. The text can be used for principles or intermediate macro and micro, or for a one semester intermediate or advanced course designed for business majors.
