The economic news of the last several years has been remarkable--from the collapse of the "New Economy" to the buildup of a war economy. The ninth edition of Current Economic Issues is an invaluable tool for understanding the economics behind the headlines. Its 46 articles offer progressive perspectives on major economic news stories, along the way debunking dozens of myths broadcast by the business press. The book starts with an examination of the recent economic recovery, and explains why so many have been left out of it. It takes a critical look at the crackdown on workersand the labor movement since September 11, 2001, and showcases new labor organizing. Three new chapters scrutinize the Bush administration's fiscal policies, pointing out the problems with tax cuts for the wealthy, rollbacks in social spending, and proposals to privatize Social Security. The final chapters critique the global spread of neoliberalism and the economics of the "War on Terror," and look at underreported efforts to advance economic alternatives. The sharply written, well-researched articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the award-winning magazine of popular economics. Dollars & Sense also publishes Real World Macro, Real World Micro, Real World Globalization, The Wealth Inequality Reader, Introduction to Political Economy, Unlevel Playing Fields: Understanding Wage Inequality and Discrimination, The Environment in Crisis, and Real World Banking.

Real World Macro, 25th edition, is a lively, thought-provoking alternative to mainstream economics textbooks. Real World Macro asks the questions that standard textbooks try to avoid: What's so great about growth? Is unemployment "natural"? Why should inequality matter? Along with covering the basics--monetary and fiscal policy, productivity and investment, inflation and unemployment--Real World Macro includes a chapter on major controversies in macroeconomics, such as the legacy of Keynesianism in the United States and the basics of Marxist economic theory. It also takes a look at international trade and finance, covering such topics as the debt crisis and arguments for and against "free trade." The thoroughly updated and revised 25th edition contains new chapter introductions reviewing the concepts examined in each article, discussion questions relating them to a standard textbook, and new articles addressing the latest real world issues and controversies, including topics like the bursting of the housing bubble, the chaos in the banking industry, Social Security, offshoring, the impact of the declining dollar, and the persistence of the racial and gender gap in jobs and income.
