Description
When it comes to explaining fundamental economic principles by drawing on current economic issues and events, there is no one more effective than Nobel laureate and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and co-author, Robin Wells.
In this best-selling introductory textbook, Krugman and Wells' signature storytelling style and uncanny eye for revealing examples will help students understand how economic concepts play out in our world. The new edition has been revised and enhanced throughout, including incisive new looks at long-run growth and at market power, and extensive coverage of the economic impacts and policy responses to the coronavirus pandemic.
Microeconomics is supported by Achieve, which includes:

Access to an eBook for easy reading and searching
LearningCurve adaptive quizzing offers practice questions to check understanding and provide feedback
Step-by-Step graphs and Work It Out activities allow students to work step-by-step through scenarios so that they can see economic principles in action
