· Graphs, Figures, and Animations help students learn the concepts in the book.
· End-of-Chapter Critical-Thinking Questions and Problem Sets reinforce economic principles and give students the opportunity to practice what they’ve just learned.
Show students the relevance of economics to their lives
· Real-world examples and applications illustrate and reinforce key economic concepts.
