Full Description
Students' burning questions about the economy, tied together in a discussion-provoking text. Econversations: Today's Students Discuss Today's Issues-a book for students, by students-contains short chapters, covering the topics you'd find in the average economics principles textbook. These topics, however, are approached from a more accessible perspective-the perspective of students themselves. The goal of this text is to spark interest in these topics and start conversations that will unearth new solutions to old problems, helping readers see they really can make a difference in the world of economics.
