Title overview

For Principles of Microeconomics courses at two- and four-year universities

Reveal the relevance of economics through real-world business examples. One of the challenges of teaching Principles of Microeconomics is fostering interest in concepts that may not seem applicable to students' lives. Microeconomics, makes economics relevant by demonstrating how real businesses use economics to make decisions every day. Regardless of their future career path, opening an art studio, trading on Wall Street, or bartending at the local pub, students will benefit from understanding the economic forces behind their work.
