Title overview

Economics Today: The Micro View uses real, captivating examples to connect economics to our everyday lives and to today’s most cutting-edge issues. Through a range of critical-analysis features, author Roger Miller drives home economic theory by focusing on the practical applications and real implications of economic decisions.

The 21st Edition was revised to make learning more efficient for students. All-new examples keep the content fresh and focused on today’s most salient domestic and global economic events. A new feature on diversity and an expanded feature on artificial intelligence illustrate the cause and effect of economic principles. Additionally, a new feature called Why does...? gets to the bottom of economic policy and its consequences.
