Like a lens that brings the indistinct into focus, Parkin's Economics introduces students to the art of seeing the invisible, teaching them interpret the story told by the economic indicators, uncover meaning hidden in the headlines, and gain a clear vision through economic analysis.
Features include:
New unifying theme introduces Parkin's 7th edition
Ten topics illustrate the big question: Do choices made in the pursuit of self-interest also serve the social interest? These questions explore widely discussed issues such as privatization, globalization, the new economy, the post 9/11 economy, corporate scandals, HIV/AIDS, disappearing tropical rainforests, water shortages, unemployment, deficits and debts. Parkin weaves this theme into the text, asking students to analyze the effect of this question on their everyday lives.
Modern macroeconomics made accessible
Parkin achieves a serious yet accessible synthesis of the traditional Keynesian and monetarist theories with the new macroeconomics that emerged from the Lucas revolution.
Parkin's Diagrams Show the Action
Parkin sets the standard for clear and meticulous diagrams. With a consistent and meaningful use of color, each and every figure has been designed with the study and review needs of students in mind. Graphs are paired with data tables, color-blended arrows show movement, diagrams are labeled with boxed notes, and extended captions provide study and review.
New Reading Between the Lines
Show students how to apply economic concepts to the real world. This acclaimed critical thinking feature closes each chapter with an economic analysis of a significant news article from the popular press, together with a thorough economic analysis of the issues raised in the article.
Opening Puzzlers
Each chapter opens with a one-page, attention-grabbing vignette that serves to motivate and focus the chapter.
