- Summary
- Using a story-driven approach to learning, every chapter of this textbook includes fully integrated real-world examples, stories, applications, and case studies. These many examples help to make economics accessible and entertaining while teaching intuitively and reinforcing critical concepts. Taken together, this rich array of examples will help readers achieve deeper levels of understanding of the real world through economics and appreciate the kinds of trade-offs and ambiguities that economists and policymakers face when applying economic models to real-world problems.
