Economics (High School Version)

KRUGMAN SURE TO ENLIVEN THE AP* ECONOMICS CLASSROOM The 2008 Nobel Prize winner, Paul Krugman, has become the person Americans most often turn to explain what economic policy means to their lives—and how events in their lives reflect important economic concepts. That ability extends to the AP* high school course, where Krugman and Wells’ Economics has proven to be an exceptionally effective textbook. The unique voice that makes Krugman the most widely read economist in the U.S. (and perhaps the world) is evident on every page of Economics. The product of the partnership of coauthors Krugman and Robin Wells, will be available in a new edition for Fall 2009 classes. AP teachers can count on the authors’ ability to explain economics concepts, interpret current events, and develop students’ understanding with classroom-proven pedagogy.
