Using innovative video and whiteboard technology, the author provides both short concept pieces and longer lectures for each chapter, talking through the concepts just as he would in class and displaying on the whiteboard lecture points and demonstrating graphs. Students can play and replay the lectures as often as needed to review concepts. * Office Hours: This feature emulates the kinds of questions students bring to instructors after class. Office Hours explores key concepts such as how the money supply works; the purpose of the PPF; whether price ceilings are really good or bad for consumers; and the purpose of the AD/AS framework. * Economics 24/7: Illustrating the practical relevance of key concepts, this feature explores anything that can be explained through economic analysis. For example: Why do people specialize and trade? Will a tax on soda help reduce obesity? Why might states ban real estate commission rebates? Which is better, a tax rebate or a tax bonus? Economics 24/7 helps students learn to look for economic forces at work--and understand the principles behind them. * Chapter 18 on the financial crisis of 2007-2009: Arnold"s Macroeconomics, 11e, is the only principles of macroeconomics text currently on the market that focuses an entire chapter on the financial crisis.
