Summary |
Issues in economics today includes 8 intensive core theory chapters and 35 shorter issues chapters. The book is designed to allow faculty flexibility in approach.

Some faculty will choose to set a theme for their course and pick issues consistent with that theme while others will let their students decide what issues interest them.
