Description

Welcome to the webpage for Dolan's Introduction to Economics (Combined). This webpage allows you to view sample chapters from the textbook, study guide and supplementary material. In addition, you can view the table of contents, read the preface, and learn more about the author and the successful history of Introduction to Economics (Combined), which is now being published as the most affordable introductory economics textbook on the market.

Every week, Ed Dolan's Econ Blog provides new material to both students and instructors. The blog's Resource Center for Teaching Economics, found at http://dolanecon.blogspot.com, brings regular posts on micro- and macroeconomic topics. A Topic Index and Course Planning Guide helps instructors and students find relevant older posts by grouping them in a way that reflects the sequence of a typical economics course.

In addition to original material, the blog regularly features links to news items, articles from the business press, government documents, and other material relevant to the course. Students and instructors can also follow @DolanEcon on Twitter to keep up with the latest economic news. Instructors and students are also invited to suggest topics for blog posts or submit guest posts of their own on favorite subjects.

Finally, this edition recognizes the fact that instructors no longer rely solely on blackboards and photocopied handouts as teaching aids. Most instructors now regularly use slide shows, smartboards, and videos in class, and course Web sites to help students with their studying between classes.
