The primary goal has been to help students understand the challenges of economic pol-icy and the consequences of specific actions like tariffs, regulation, and tax reform. It has always provided a bal-anced discussion of these issues, allowing students to assess different perspectives on critical issues. For this edi-tion, instructors will particularly appreciate the unique chapters that provide a solid foundation for explaining, illus-trating, and assessing major Trump initiatives. Chapter 16, for example, is devoted to supply-side theory, a core foundation of Trumponomics. Students can explore the theoretical basis for tax cuts, deregulation, and immigration reform.

The unique chapter devoted to deregulation (Chapter 27) ex-amines the rationale for government regulation of industry, the inherent trade-offs, and the consequences of (de)regulation. The same kind of insistence on critical thinking about policy issues is apparent in Chapter 28 on envi-ronmental protection"--
