Economics in Focus

How do you currently source materials to help students see the relevance of economics to their everyday life? Virtually every student entering university will have heard about The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and many have been affected by it in some way. This small companion text helps you to introduce the GFC and its impact into your classroom and allows your students to see the immediate relevance and application of economic theory. Economics in Focus has been designed to be easily integrated within an introductory unit; it provides an introduction to the GFC and helps foster analysis and discussion through the inclusion of 6 case summaries of recent news headlines. To help you as an instructor these cases come with guided answers.
