Description
For one-semester courses in Principles of Microeconomics.
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 with MyEconLab makes economics relevant by demonstrating how real businesses use economics to make decisions every day. And with an ever changing U.S. and world economy, the Sixth Edition has been updated with the latest developments using new real-world business and policy examples. 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.
