●Real-world business chapter-opening cases have been updated with new companies or the latest information. They set a context for learning while also sparking students' interest and providing a unifying theme for the chapter by showing how the economic concepts presented impact a real business.
●38 Making the Connection features help students tie economic concepts to current events and policy issues by revealing how the information they are learning has been used in actual situations.
●UPDATED! Figures and tables have been added and/or updated to present information in an easy-to-read format.
●UPDATED! End-of-chapter problems have been either replaced or updated and some include graphs for students to analyze.
●UPDATED! Real-Time Data Exercises. Easy to assign and automatically graded, Real-Time Data Analysis exercises use up-to-the-minute, real-time Macroeconomic data. These exercises communicate directly with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’s FRED site, so every time FRED posts new data, students see new data. As a result, Real-Time Data Analysis exercises offer a no-fuss solution for instructors who want to make the most recent data a central part of their macro course.

●A Personal Dimension: Economics in Your Life feature in each chapter opener helps students relate to the material. Students are prompted to think about questions posed in this feature as they work through the chapter. At the end of the chapter, the authors provide answers to these questions.
●An Inside Look feature at the end of chapters 1-4 helps students apply economic thinking to current events and policy debates, and have all been updated for the sixth edition. These features consist of newspaper articles that illustrate how key principles have been used by the company featured in the chapter-opening case to make a business decision. The authors provide an analysis of the article, corresponding graph(s), and Thinking Critically exercises. Additional articles and analysis are updated weekly on MyEconLab.
