The economy is tough -- but understanding economics doesn’t have to be. In fact, opening the world of economics can be exciting with Arnold's popular ECONOMICS, 14E. Economic tools, new thinking and theories show you how economic forces impact daily events and form an important part of life 24/7. Current, everyday economic examples and updated discussions and learning features illustrate many unexpected places economics can occur. You learn how supply and demand play out on a freeway, what money is and isn’t, how a person pays for good weather and why some countries are rich while others are poor. Three new chapters examine economic research, health economics and forces like creative destruction and crony capitalism. Revised coverage of the Federal Reserve System reviews changes in monetary policy. Digital video lectures and digital features guide you in understanding economic diagrams and building graphs, while online MindTap, Aplia and A+ Test Prep help you assess your understanding.
