The Economy Today is distinguished by its exceptional readability, strong policy orientation, and effective pedagogy. Bradley Schiller’s accessible writing style engages readers by bringing the excitement of domestic and global economic news into a clear, educational focus. The text emphasizes the critical choices policymakers must make between government intervention and market reliance to resolve the core economic issues of what, how, and for whom to produce.

These strategic trade-offs are highlighted throughout a comprehensive range of micro, macro, and international topics. Each chapter concludes with a specific policy issue that underscores the ongoing dilemma between market forces and government regulation. By teaching economics in a relevant context, the author fills every chapter with real-world facts and practical applications of economic principles.

As a leading resource in the field, this is one of the only principles texts that presents all macro theory within the single, consistent context of the AS/AD framework. It also uniquely features a dedicated chapter on supply-side economics. The 15th edition is thoroughly integrated with dynamic resources designed to enhance engagement and provide a deep understanding of modern economic life.
