Title overview

Pearson FlexText...setting you up for success in school and at work


The study of economics requires a different style of thinking from what you may encounter in other courses. Economists make extensive use of assumptions to break down complex problems into simple, analytically manageable parts. This analytical style, while not ultimately more demanding than the styles of thinking in other disciplines, feels unfamiliar to most students and requires practice.


Our experience has taught us that what first-year economics students want most from a FlexText is help in mastering course material to do well on examinations. We have developed this FlexText to respond specifically to that demand.
