Students enter their first economics course hoping to gain a better understanding of the world around them, but often leave with their questions unanswered. Economics: Principles, Applications, and Tools is built upon the authors' philosophy of using basic concepts of economics to explain a wide variety of relevant, current and engaging economic applications.
