Economics Today has long led the field in offering students and instructors a dynamic, application-rich approach to learning and teaching economics. The MyEconLab Edition presents an unprecedented wealth of specially designed multimedia resources available in CourseCompass, Addison-Wesley's premier Blackboard-based course management system. The Web site includes an electronic version of the textbook that serves as a navigational tool for students to access animations, video clips, audio narration, and Internet activities that are indicated by icons built right into the text.
