Essential Foundations of Economics

Essential Foundations of Economics was developed on the premise that economics is a core competency for the responsible citizen and a foundation tool for every type of career. Bade/Parkin package is designed to encourage learning by doing. Each chapter concentrates on a manageable number of core concepts that are called out in the beginning of chapter Checklist. Students know what they're expected to learn and are given the chance to apply those lessons to real-world problems. Practice is the cornerstone of the innovative Bade/Parkin approach. A full page Checkpointcontaining a Practice Problem with solution and a parallel Exerciseimmediately follows each main idea. Checkpoints serve as stopping points and encourage students to practice using a concept before moving on. Different learning styles need different learning tools, and Bade/Parkin's extensive and tightly integrated web environment puts students in the driver's seat and allows them to use technology in the way that suits them best.Robin Bade is the author of 'Essential Foundations of Economics' with ISBN 9780201748802 and ISBN 0201748800.
