Krugman’s economics for AP®, 2nd. ed. (adapted from Economics, 3rd. ed. by Paul Krugman and Robin Wells)

Abstract

The AP® Economics course represents a wonderful opportunity for high school students to be challenged by the rigor of a college-level course, while learning life-relevant concepts from the discipline of economics. We understand the unique challenges of teaching and learning AP® Economics and have designed this book and its support program to be the most effective possible resources to help you succeed in AP® Economics. Intent on promoting the efficiency and effectiveness of AP® Economics courses, we started with the best available college-level introduction to economics—Krugman and Wells’ Economics, second and third editions. We knew these would be the best foundation for an AP® adaptation. Our goal was to retain the features of Economics that make it a winner, while crafting it to closely follow the AP® syllabus and speak to a high school audience. Krugman’s Economics for AP®, second edition, is designed to be easy to read and easy to use. Our hope is that you will find our explanations clear and concise, and that you will enjoy reading the book.
