Product Description
This 18-chapter text is the first book explicitly designed for the one-term, principles-level course covering both micro and macroeconomics, and can also be used for two-term or full-year courses where a very concise, focused treatment is desired. This authoritative text carefully selects and fully explains all of the core topics essential to the principles course with a rigorous and analytical treatment, rather than presenting just a cursory "survey" of all introductory economic concepts. It presents economics as a unified subject in which the macroeconomics chapters build on, and flow from, the key microeconomic principles established in the first half of the book. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Economics (with InfoTrac ) (Hardcover) Come on, forget about the so-called bible eco-textbook. This is definitely not an old-fashion bible but nowadays the most friendly economic textbook I've ever read! Explanation is basically step-by-step, examples are down to earth, graphs are definitely clear without redundancy (as many textbooks do!!!) I believe beginners without background on business or social science could totally understand what economics is about by this book. Strongly Recommend.
