Economics, 14th Edition

This edition keeps much of what adopters have liked about previous editions. The content remains straightforward and accessible and comes with numerous boxed applications. We believe that economics has a lot to say these days and we want that communication between text and student to be as crystal clear, unambiguous, and accessible as possible. But to enrich the basic economic content, there need to be applications. Students need to see the basic economic tools of analysis being used to explain things, and here is where the applications come in. A hallmark of this text over various editions is the plentiful and relevant applications it features. This edition has 185 boxed applications that can be found under these four main titles: Economics 24/7, Thinking Like an Economist, Finding Economics, and Office Hours. A few of the many new ones to this edition include:
