Title overview

Microeconomics gets you to think like an economist by incorporating the latest policy, data and discussions on important global issues.

The 14th Edition emphasizes real-world applications, the development of critical-thinking skills, diagrams renowned for their pedagogy and clarity, and path-breaking technology. Hallmark features in the chapter openings and endings encourage you to think critically about a news article relating to the issue, demonstrating how thinking like an economist can bring a clearer perspective to, and deeper understanding of, today's events.
