A history of excellence in economic content and application

· Chapters have been reworked for better flow and improved readability. More thorough discussion of and focus on important topics and issues have been added to the 13th Edition.

· A 3-tiered explanation of key concepts (using intuitive stories, followed by a table or graph, and in some cases, an equation that presents the concept with a mathematical formula) helps instructors effectively cover a large amount of material, and helps students to understand it.

· Graphs, Figures, and Animations help students learn the concepts in the book.

· End-of-Chapter Critical-Thinking Questions and Problem Sets reinforce economic principles and give students the opportunity to practice what they’ve just learned.

Show students the relevance of economics to their lives

· Real-world examples and applications illustrate and reinforce key economic concepts.

· Economics in Practice boxes focus on recent research and events that support key concepts in the chapter. This helps students to think deeply about what they’ve read and make connections between what they learn in class and how it can apply to their jobs in the real world.

MyLabTM Economics is not included. Students, if MyLab Economics is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN.
