About this title

Synopsis

This debate-style reader is designed to introduce students to controversies in economics. The issues discussed include: Should Cities Subsidize Sports and Sports Venues? Is It Time to Abolish the Minimum Wage? and Is Free Trade a Viable Option for the New Millennium? The arguments of leading economists and commentators are presented in yes and no pairs. Taking Sides actively develops critical thinking skills by requiring students to analyze opposing viewpoints and reach considered judgements.
