Economics and Contemporary Issues

by Ronald L Moomaw, Kent W Olson, Michael Applegate, and Bill McLean

Published November 1995

Taking a current issues approach to economics, this text teaches economic concepts by applying them to leading social issues, and examining issues important in the contemporary policy agenda. The book aims to equip students with a firm foundation in basic theory, and exposes them to real-world economic policies and issues in action, such as the Clinton Administration's deficit reduction plans, market power and economic growth, economic changes in Eastern Europe, and air pollution.
