Synopsis

Introduces students to the basic concepts of economics with engaging stories and timely applications.

Students enter their first economics course hoping to gain a better understanding of the world around them, but often leave with their questions unanswered.

The 10th Edition incorporates the latest economic developments and timely applications throughout, such as the opportunity cost of hosting an AirBnB. By making every chapter accessible and applied, students develop an understanding of core principles that they will use as citizens and consumers, now and in their careers.
