- To enhance the instructional qualities of the book, three major changes were made in the fourth edition of Understanding Economics:
• First, two chapters were added to comply with the requirements of the K to 12 Curriculum for Social Studies as prescribed by the Department of Education.
• The second major change in the revised edition is the updating of information and data that are incorporated in several chapters that reflects changes in the Philippine economy since the last revision of the textbook. Tables and figures, as well as their analyses, were rearranged, improved, and updated.
• The third major change is the transformation of Understanding Economics as a textbook of choice for
students and teachers in bridging the study of economics between high school and college. - Aside from improving the previous editions, all of these changes are being made to make the fourth edition of Understanding Economics in the Philippine Setting contribute in molding the economic consciousness of the Filipino youth as an appropriate initial textbook for high school students in understanding the issues confronting the Philippine economy.
