Economics Today: The Macro View plus MyEconLab plus eBook 1-semester Student Access Kit, 19/E, by Roger LeRoy Miller (Pearson/Prentice Hall, 2017).

• There are several alternatives/formats available.

• Be careful. The cover of Economics Today: The Macro View is almost identical to the cover of Economics Today: The Micro View.

This is a traditional introduction to macroeconomics college textbook. If you buy this text new, an access kit granting students access to the online homework site, MyEconLab, and the associated eBook have been added.

• Some version of the textbook, new, used, or eBook, is required. So is access to the course's MyEconLab site.

• You can buy the eBook and MyEconLab together as a package without the hardcopy of the textbook if you so desire. Instructions on how to do so can be found below.

• You can buy used copies of this text also. In fact, I see no reason why you couldn't use the 17th edition if you can find it.

  • Search engines. I have posted the table of contents for the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th editions on the course's ACC Blackboard site. However, you need to be careful here, because in all probability you will not receive an access kit that has not been used, even if you buy a used 18th edition. So, if you do buy used, you will most likely still need to buy access to MyEconLab. Instructions on how to do this can also be found below.

• ACC Bookstores have the following textbook for sale at the stores or online: Economics Today: The Macro View plus MyEconLab plus eBook 1-semester Student Access Kit, 19/E, by Roger LeRoy Miller (Pearson/Prentice Hall, 2015). This package will contain a hard copy of the text and an Access Code for MyEconLab and the eBook.

  • I estimate the selling price will be $285 with an access kit for MyEconLab and the eBook or around $202 for the loose leaf edition with the access code.

  • The ACC Bookstore is now also carrying a shrink-wrapped, unbound, three-hole-punched version of the textbook with an Access Code for MyEconLab for around $202.

  • If the ACC bookstore at the campus nearest you does not carry this text, it can have it sent over from the main ACC bookstore:

    • ACC Bookstore - Rio Grande Campus

824 W. 12th Street

(512) 480-0815

• This textbook can be purchased at other sites online also. For example, on August 9, Amazon had a new copy with an access code for MyEconLab for sale for $239, and many used copies without the access code for around $140. Of course, if you find a used book does not have an access code for MyEconLab, the access code will have to be purchased separately for $67. If you do buy your copy online, be sure to do so at least two weeks in advance of the start of the semester. Students in previous semesters have told me that their online orders are very slow to arrive.

• If you wouldn't mind using just the eBook (no hard copy), you can buy access to the eBook when you sign up online for MyEconLab. The eBook plus MyEconLab costs $122. The eBook will contain exactly the same material as the hard copy of the textbook available in the bookstore. You can also purchase MyEconLab with a loose-leaf, 3-hole punched hard copy for $127 directly from the publisher, or you can purchase access to MyEconLab as a stand-alone product for $67. You may download a document summarizing your choices.
