Principles of Economics series
Glenn Hubbard, Columbia University and Anthony Patrick O’Brien, Lehigh University
Hubbard/O’Brien’s Principles of Economics Series makes economic principles relevant by demonstrating how real businesses use them to make decisions every day. For instructors, it eases the challenge of conveying how these principles directly impact students' lives.
The 9th Edition exemplifies recent developments in US and world economies. No matter their career path, whether it's opening an art studio, trading on Wall Street or bartending at the local pub, students will benefit from grasping the economic forces behind their work.
