Description

Acclaimed for its lucid presentation of basic microeconomic principles and rich array of real-world applications, the sixth edition of this classic text brings microeconomics to life for students with its compelling public choice approach. The authors' focus stretches beyond the theories of how ideal markets work to the actual arena of political decision-making, interest group influence, and government policies.
