ILLUSTRATES HOW THE ECONOMY HAS CHANGED: Chapter 1 illustrates just how much America and its economy have changed over time, with provocative and often mind-blowing statistics. Tracing the changes with such data as income per capita, average life span, time and money use, and even sports statistics, Walton and Rockoff create an exciting and motivational chapter that ties our past to the current age.
PERSPECTIVES SET THE STAGE: A list of historical and economic perspectives precedes the beginning of every section to summarize and set the stage for that era. These "Perspective" boxes give particular focus to America's minority voices and their role in the economic narrative.
ECONOMIC INSIGHT: "Economic Insight" boxes use explicit economic analysis to show how economic forces are at work on the issues raised in each chapter.
NEW VIEWS: "New Views" boxes connect historical experience with present-day economic issues.
