Offers a different approach to the principles of economics course based on three pedagogical principles: assessment is an essential component of the learning process; students understand concepts better when they are presented in the context of engaging stories; and students remember more when they connect concepts to what they see or read.

In August 2006, we are launching a new, streamlined version of MyEconLab to better fit the needs of both students and professors. Order the ISBN above if your course begins before 8/1/06, or click here if your course begins after 8/1/06.

Macroeconomics offers a novel approach to the principles of economics course based on three pedagogical principles:

Ongoing assessment is an essential component of the learning process;
Students understand concepts better when they are presented in the context of engaging stories;
Students remember more when they connect concepts to what they see or read in the news and what they experience in their every day life.

Quality assessment permeates every component of Microeconomics, the first textbook to offer a class-tested test bank. MyEconLab’s innovative online homework and tutorial system, with its innovative computer-grade graphing exercises, is tightly linked to the text.
