Book Description
Designed for the Survey of Economics course, Economics: Theory and Practice introduces students to basic economic concepts, institutions, relationships, and terminology.
This text prepares students to use economic thinking in their classes, careers, and everyday lives. Flexible in approach, instructor-friendly in structure, and student-friendly in language, Economics: Theory and Practice contains an essential coverage of both microeconomics and macroeconomics, in any sequence.
