Macroeconomics / Edition 10

by Stephen Slavin

Overview

Steve Slavin's lively and comprehensive Macroeconomics 11e has a student-friendly, step-by-step approach. As in previous editions, Slavin introduces more math review than other products to help students get past math phobias through consistent practice. The content is set up as a workbook, encouraging students to fill in tables and graphs and work problems as they read to actively engage with the material. Matched with the extensive learning aids available in Connect, including the adaptive study tool LearnSmart, Slavin provides a complete learning environment for the introductory economics student.

Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective.
