Description
This best-selling textbook has been teaching students in a clear, unbiased way for 40 years. The 14th edition took an increased share of the market because of its clear and careful treatment of principles of economics concepts, its balanced coverage, and its patient explanations. More students have learned their principles of Economics from McConnell-Brue than any other text: twelve million of them. The 15th edition is a substantial revision that delivers a tighter, modern, Internet-savvy book.
