520 _aEssentials of Economics in Context is specifically designed to meet the requirements of a one-semester introductory economics course that provides coverage of both microeconomic and macroeconomic foundations. It addresses current economic challenges, paying specific attention to issues of inequality, globalization, unpaid work, technology, financialization, and the environment, making the text a genuine 21st-century introduction to economics. Aspects of history, institutions, gender, ethics, and ecology are integrated throughout the text, and economic analysis is presented within broader themes of human well-being, and social and environmental sustainability. Theoretical expositions in the text are kept close to reality by integrating numerous real-world examples and by presenting the material in the recognized accessible and engaging style of this experienced author team. Key features include: • a brand-new chapter devoted entirely to economic inequality • up-to-date discussions of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on labor markets, inflation, and beyond • an inclusive approach to economics, where the economy is analyzed within its social and environmental context (including a greater focus on topics outside of the United States) • a focus on goals of human well-being, stability, and sustainability, instead of solely focusing on market activities. This text is the ideal resource for one-semester introductory economics courses globally. The book's companion website is available at www.bu.edu/eci/essentials.
