The Micro Economy Today

The writing style of this text engages students and brings some of the excitement of domestic and global economic news into the classroom. Schiller's three core questions - what does the economy produce?, how is it produced?, and for whom does it produce? - help students quickly grasp the facts of economic life. The Microeconomy Today examines the tension between free market demands and government intervention and challenges students to consider the implications of each. Every chapter starts and ends with a policy issue that reinforces that tension. This book uses extensive pedagogy which has been updated in this edition.
