- Synopsis
- Using simple language, easy-to-read graphs and charts, and entertaining cartoons to illustrate key points, Heintz and Folber (U. of Massachusetts) answer common questions about different economic terms and trends while providing an up-to-date review of the U.S. economy. The first four chapters address major groups of people who affect and/or are affected by the economy in different ways. The next chapters cover particular areas of concern such as government, education and welfare, health, and environment. Finally, two chapters discuss the larger topics of macroeconomics and the global economy. Each individual page stands alone as a compact description of some fact or trend. Annotation c.
