The Economy Today is noted for three great strengths: readability, policy orientation, and pedagogy. The 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, and every chapter ends with a policy issue that emphasizes the markets vs. government dilemma. The authors teach economics in a relevant context, filling chapters with the real facts and applications of economic life. Schiller is also the only principles text that presents all macro theory in the single consistent context of the AS/AD framework. The Economy Today , fourteenth edition, is thoroughly integrated with the adaptive digital tools available in McGraw-Hill s LearnSmart Advantage Suite, proven to increase student engagement and success in the course."
This book was exactly what I asked for, it came in a timely manner and was in great condition.

Bought this for my economy class, the 11th edition of the economy today is $180 and this edition is essentially the same.

I truly enjoyed this book. Before this textbook, I had never had the experience with a textbook in which I simply WANTED to keep reading, rather than just trying to finish the "assigned reading". It offered so many fascinating examples of the economic principles it covered and effectively taught me how apply the knowledge I gained to everyday situations.This is a great stand-alone text for anyone that wants to learn economics.
