Overview
Economics can often be a challenging topic of study. Many of the principles and concepts you'll read about, including opportunity cost, trade-offs, scarcity, and demand and supply, may not seem applicable to your daily life. Microeconomics makes these concepts relevant and interesting by demonstrating how real businesses apply them to make decisions every day.
With ever-changing US and world economies, the digitally updated 8th Edition includes fully revised content, figures, examples and features. It incorporates the effects of the recent global pandemic on households, firms and economic policy. No matter your career path, whether it's opening an art studio, trading on Wall Street or bartending at the local pub, you'll benefit from grasping the economic forces behind your work.
