Guell’s Challenges in Economic Studies Today brings economic theory to life by presenting current challenges in an engaging, conversational manner. The 10th edition serves as a practical and relevant introduction for freshman survey and challenges students and upper-level policy students in other social sciences. Challenges in Economic Studies Today includes 8 extensive core theory chapters and 39 shorter challenges chapters.

Educators have the option to select the challenges of greatest interest to their students or establish a thematic course using the correlation data to organize the course around social policies, healthcare and educational policies, election year challenges, global challenges, or business challenges. This structure offers maximum flexibility for educators to establish a foundation of theory initially or directly delve into coverage of today’s current challenges. Guell’s 10th edition delivers content that is timely and relevant for students, yet adaptable enough to suit any course framework.
