  • This is still the liveliest introduction to economic principles text on the market. Schiller’s text develops concepts in the context of real-world policies. His 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. Every chapter ends with a policy issue that emphasizes the markets vs. government dilemma. This is a book that teaches economics in a relevant context and with careful pedagogy.
