PROVEN APPROACH IS NOW 60 YEARS STRONG. Both students and instructors like you have trusted this book for more than 60 years to incorporate the latest professional research. This engaging story is both evidence based and thoroughly tested by scholars.
UNIQUE APPROACH ILLUSTRATES HOW THE ECONOMY HAS CHANGED. Chapter 1 emphasizes just how much America and its economy have changed over time, with provocative and often mind-blowing statistics. Tracing the changes using data, such as income per capita, average life span, time and money use, and even sports statistics, authors Walton and Rockoff create an exciting and motivational chapter that ties an intriguing and rich past to the current age.
HISTORIC AND ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES SET THE STAGE FOR LEARNING AND APPRECIATING CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MINORITY GROUPS. A list of historical and economic perspectives precedes the beginning of every section to summarize and set the stage for that era. These "Perspective" boxes give particular focus to America's minority voices and their role in the economic narrative.
