Description
Building on the tremendous success of their best-selling Principles of Economics text, Brue, McConnell, and Flynn have revised their one-semester text to provide a fresh alternative. This 18-chapter textbook utilizes clear and careful language along with pedagogy and topic discussion suited to the needs of one-semester course.. Brue/McConnell/Flynn is a patient, substantive treatment of micro and macro economics for the one-semester course with many up-to-date, motivating examples.

Features

Reorganized and recast macro section in terms of the modern, dominant paradigm of macroeconomics, using economic growth as the central backdrop and viewing business fluctuations as arising from demand and supply shocks in conjunction with short-run price and wage stickiness.
A new set of 26 Worked Problems, identified by icons in the book margins and available at the book’s Web site.
A new appendix to the supply and demand chapter providing concrete examples of changes in demand, changes in supply, changes in both, as well as situations in which pre-set prices can result in shortages or surpluses available on the Brue/McConnell/Flynn Essentials Web site.
Updated and expanded discussion of elasticity to include income elasticity, with an example of how it can help predict which products will fall off in demand more than others during recessions.
Up-to-date discussions and examples, such as: climate change policies, ethanol subsidies and their myriad impacts, the most rapidly expanding and disappearing U.S. jobs, the mortgage debt crisis, the sharp business downturn of late 2007 and 2008, the Fed term auction facility, recent Fed monetary policy, the stimulus package of 2008, the additions of countries to the European Union and the euro zone, changes in exchange rates, and many more.
