A new generation of introductory Economics courses is emerging. These courses are now teaching economic principles using a heterodox view point  encouraging learners to see how economics is interdisciplinary and help them reflect more on the real world issues.

Dawsons Economics and Economic Change is the first introductory textbook to match this new way of thinking. The authors really encourage critical debate and social and ethical reflection, which are key to this approach.

The book takes a problem based learning approach, focusing on contemporary economic issues, which is ideal for students starting out  helping them to connect economics to their way of thinking.
