An intuitive and grounded approach to economics Get students to think like an Economist using the latest policy and data while incorporating global issues. Economics, Twelfth Edition builds on the foundation of the previous edition and retains a thorough and careful presentation of the principles of economics. Economics emphasizes real-world applications, the development of critical thinking skills, diagrams renowned for pedagogy and clarity, and path-breaking technology. Each chapter begins with one of today’s key issues, and additional issues appear throughout the chapter to show the real-world applications of the theory being discussed. When the chapter concludes, students “read between the lines” to think critically about a news article relating to the issue, demonstrating how thinking like an economist can bring a clearer perspective to and deeper understanding of today’s events. Students will begin to think about issues the way real economists do and learn how to explore difficult policy problems to make more informed decisions in their own economic lives. Also available with MyEconLab MyEconLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them better absorb course material and understand difficult concepts.

A very solid introduction to the world of microeconomics, but it will take me a while to get used to these graphs. Cool to see these principles applied to rent ceilings, inequality, and the labor market 🤓

It was the very first book i read due to my profession . Though it caused bit difficulty to understand because of my lack of skill , it made good beginning . Economics isn't boring as i thought :P

Un libro que permite comprender el funcionamiento de las diferentes estructuras de Mercado, la demanda, la oferta y sus respectivas curvas. Considero que la obra es eximia ya que incluye bastantes ejemplos y ejercicios, por lo que es una gran herramienta de estudio para el análisis de la Microeconomía dentro de la Contaduría y las Finanzas.

Grandes enseñanzas y recuerdos se desprenden de este título, aunque considero que algunos temas están un poco fuera de lugar y de importancia jiji; sin embargo, me ha ayudado a comprender grades aspectos de Derecho Económico y del Derecho de la Competencia, sobre todo los cruces de la Ley General de Competencia Económica y sus respectivos reglamentos con los criterios estrictamente económicos, como lo son los costos junto a los diferentes tipos de poder monopólico. :)

Good real world examples and easy to read. I had a paperback and eBook, they were both really useful for my graduate class.
