Frank et. al. focuses on seven core principles to produce economic naturalists through active learning. By eliminating overwhelming detail, students are able to grasp a deeper understanding of economics. This product helps students become “economic naturalists,” people who employ basic economic principles to understand and explain what they observe in the world around them. COVID-19 pandemic content, analysis, and examples further engage students.
