Written specifically for the one semester survey of economics course, Schiller’s Essentials of Economics 10th edition is known for seeking the best possible answers to the basic questions of WHAT, HOW, and FOR WHOM to produce. As in earlier editions, the tenth edition strives to arouse interest in economic theories by illustrating them in the context of actual institutions, policy debates, and global developments. Built to provide interactive support for the introductory student, Connect® for the 10th edition features SmartBook®’s adaptive reading experience embedded with learning resources as well as guided examples featuring coauthor Karen Gebhardt, among other resources.
About the Author of Essentials of Economics 10th Edition
Bradley R. Schiller has over four decades of experience teaching introductory economics at American University, the University of California (Berkeley and Santa Cruz), the University of Maryland, and the University of Nevada (Reno). He has given guest lectures at more than 300 colleges ranging from Fresno, California, to Istanbul, Turkey. Dr. Schiller’s unique contribution to teaching is his ability to relate basic principles to current socioeconomic problems, institutions, and public policy decisions. This perspective is evident throughout Essentials of Economics. Dr. Schiller derives this policy focus from his extensive experience as a Washington consultant. He has been a consultant to most major federal agencies, many congressional committees, and political candidates. In addition, he has evaluated scores of government programs and helped design others. His studies of income inequality, poverty, discrimination, training programs, tax reform, pensions, welfare, Social Security, and lifetime wage patterns have appeared in both professional journals and popular media. Dr. Schiller is also a frequent commentator on economic policy for television, radio, and newspapers. Dr. Schiller received his PhD from Harvard and his BA degree, with great distinction, from the University of California (Berkeley). When not teaching, writing, or consulting, Professor Schiller is typically on a tennis court, schussing down a ski slope, or enjoying the crystal blue waters of Lake Tahoe.
