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. Adopters can use the student Web site Dushkin Online (www.dushkin.com/online/) for study support and to find related Web sites.
