I am happy to support this book which incorporates nearly three decades of Dr. Ciobanus teaching experience in different countries, different times, and different economic and political environments. The authors experience in diplomacy and international affairs (Dr. Ciobanu is the former ambassador of Moldova to the USA and Canada), in working with different governments (he was one of the young consultants for Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the Soviet Union; member of the first independent Moldovas Government, Minister of Privatization and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs), makes this book even more interesting and appealing.

The book?Economics, Society, Technology, and You?teaches students basic economic concepts such as the production of goods and services, supply and demand, and the driving forces of economic progress and prosperity. It also reminds them that economics is the business of everyday life, and that their interests, choices, challenges, and goals drive economies at both the micro- and macro- levels.
The second edition of?Economics, Society, Technology, and You?is rich in real-life examples, case studies, and analysis. A new chapter addresses the United States and global economies, and all chapters feature key terms, expanded and updated problems and applications, and added sections with discussion questions and topics for research. Updated, full-color graphs and charts enhance the reading experience, and website references allow students to take their learning outside the classroom. In addition, the book now has a full glossary. All of these represent an important value added for students and also for instructors.?
