It addresses current economic challenges, paying specific attention to issues of inequality, globalization, unpaid work, technology, financialization, and the environment, making the text a genuine 21st-century introduction to economics.Aspects of history, institutions, gender, ethics, and ecology are integrated throughout the text, and economic analysis is presented within broader themes of human well-being, and social and environmental sustainability. Theoretical expositions in the text are kept close to reality by integrating numerous real-world examples and by presenting the material in the recognized accessible and engaging style of this experienced author team.Key features include: a brand-new chapter devoted entirely to economic inequality up-to-date discussions of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on labor markets, inflation, and beyond an inclusive approach to economics, where the economy is analyzed within its social and environmental context (including a greater focus on topics outside of the United States) a focus on goals of human well-being, stability, and sustainability, instead of solely focusing on market activities This text is the ideal resource for one-semester introductory economics courses globally.
