Maximizing happiness means more than maximizing wealth, and yet many students assume economists only care about "the bottom line." Economics: Private Markets and Public Choice emphasizes that economics is, at its base, about our society's well-being and our individual happiness in all forms, not just profit. The authors teach students to apply economic concepts not only to key policy decisions like taxes, inflation, and free trade, but also to personal decisions such as household finance, marriage, and career choices.

The Seventh Edition is enhanced by MyEconLab, the online homework system featuring automatically graded graphing problems and proven tutorial tools. Access to MyEconLab comes with every new textbook at no additional cost to the student.


  • The authors build a solid foundation in basic, modern economic theory and connect that theory with policy, issues, and news in today’s world through hundreds of applications and examples.

    • In the Economics After College features, students think about how they can balance their personal goals with their monetary goals to maximize their individual happiness.
    • Through Economics in Real Time, students look at the ‘big picture’ of economics by analyzing national and global issues such as Social Security, free trade, and the state of U.S. agriculture.
    • What’s in It for You? builds decision-making skills by framing everyday actions in economic terms, such as balancing a checkbook or buying scalped concert tickets.
    • Point/Counterpoint features, which appear at the end of each Part, look at pivotal debates in policy by presenting the opposing viewpoints of two renowned economists.
  • The authors explore the extent to which society’s welfare is advanced when markets are used to allocate resources to their most desired private uses.The text includes an extensive discussion of environmental economics and market approaches to such problems as pollution, endangered species, and finite natural resources.
  • In microeconomics, Chapters 1-13 offer a precise discussion of core microeconomic theory, followed by applied microeconomics topics (Chapters 14–15) and a thoughtful discussion of public choice (Chapter 16).
  • In macroeconomics, the text follows a simple, orderly structure of modern macroeconomic theory and policy that uses a historical transition from classical economics (Chapter 19) to Keynesian economics (Chapter 20) to aggregate demand and supply (Chapter 21).
  • MyEconLab, Addison-Wesley’s online homework and tutorial solution, provides your students with targeted feedback and an individualized study plan to keep them focused on key economic concepts in every chapter.  For more information on MyEconLab, visit http://www.myeconlab.com/.

  • The new, four-color format of the Seventh Edition helps keep students focused on the most important concepts and clarifies the graphical discussions.
  • Economic welfare is now discussed within the context of consumer and producer surplus and supply and demand (Chapter 4).
  • Chapter 10 offers an integrated discussion of all forms of imperfect competition, including game theory and cartels, that combines the two separate chapters of the previous edition.
  • Chapter 11 includes a concise, modern treatment of competitive labor markets that is based on the critical ideas from two separate chapters in the previous edition.
  • Contemporary microeconomic issues and debates appear throughout, including the “fate” of Microsoft, the role of entrepreneurship in today’s economy, the impact of technological developments in communications, the “market” for vital organs and organ transplants, and the “real cost” of Wal-Mart to communities.
  • Macroeconomic chapters feature up-to-date coverage of budget deficits, inflation and monetary policy, the impact of economic freedom on economic growth, the winners and losers from free trade associations such as CAFTA, and the growing trade with China.
  • New applications and end-of-chapter "Working with the Web" problems appear in every chapter.

    Roger Miller believes that students learn best when they are motivated, and that motivation comes when they connect an idea to their day-to-day lives. That is why every chapter of Economics Today is packed with thought-provoking applications that give immediate, common-sense reinforcement to economic concepts. From international to local, corporate to consumer, policy to personal, these examples spark lively discussion both in and out of the classroom. The result is that students gain a natural understanding of economic theory and analysis, and they learn to use economic reasoning in their everyday decisions.

    Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets heralded a dramatic shift in the teaching of the money and banking course in its first edition, and today it is still setting the standard. By applying an analytical framework to the patient, stepped-out development of models, Frederic Mishkin draws students into a deeper understanding of modern monetary theory, banking, and policy. His landmark combination of common sense applications with current, real-world events provides authoritative, comprehensive coverage in an informal tone students appreciate. Mishkin’s previous post as Executive Vice President and Director of Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York lends an insiders-view that helps to demystify this key institution for students.

    This Alternate Edition of The Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets is the ideal choice for courses with limited emphasis on monetary theory—due to a prerequisite course in intermediate macroeconomics or a business school focus.

    • The leading economists today started out as students taking the Principles course. Parkin writes in a way that reaches out to all students, encouraging them to think like economists from the first week of class. Economics provides a serious, analytical approach to the discipline by introducing the main ideas and then developing those ideas with the latest research, policy, and data. The result is that students learn to apply economics the way real economists do, by evaluating the decisions in their personal, academic, and professional lives.

    The Eighth Edition takes a new approach to modern macroeconomic theory with an earlier integration of international topics that gives an accurate picture of how theory is used to guide and evaluate macroeconomic policy. The microeconomics chapters include the latest research, and incorporate a unifying theme related to the tension between self- and social-interest.

    Starting in this edition, MyEconLab now includes all of Parkin’s end-of-chapter problems so that assignments can be automatically graded online. MyEconLab in CourseCompass™ provides additional optional customization and communication tools.

    Economics 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 Economics, 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.

    Starting in this edition, MyEconLab now includes all of Parkin’s end-of-chapter problems so that assignments can be automatically graded online.

    • O’Sullivan/Sheffrin/Perez 5e uses questions to drive student interest, then applications to illustrate concepts, and then tools to practice economic concepts.

     

    Students come into their first Economics course thinking they will better understand the economy around them; the choices our government, international governments, businesses, and individuals make.  Unfortunately, many don’t get answers to those questions when they complete the course.

     

    O/S/P uses chapter opening questions, applications that explain and tie to those questions throughout the chapter, and chapter ending tools to help students actively internalize economics.

    Maximizing happiness means more than maximizing wealth, and yet many students assume economists only care about "the bottom line." Economics: Private Markets and Public Choice emphasizes that economics is, at its base, about our society's well-being and our individual happiness in all forms, not just profit. The authors teach students to apply economic concepts not only to key policy decisions like taxes, inflation, and free trade, but also to personal decisions such as household finance, marriage, and career choices.

    The Seventh Edition is enhanced by MyEconLab, the online homework system featuring automatically graded graphing problems and proven tutorial tools. Access to MyEconLab comes with every new textbook at no additional cost to the student.

    • Hubbard & O'Brien is the only book that motivates students to learn economics through real business examples.   

    The #1 question students of economics ask themselves is: "Why am I here, and will I ever use this"?  Hubbard & O'Brien answer this question by demonstrating that real businesses use economics to make real decisions daily.  This is motivating to all students, whether they are business majors or not.  All students can relate to businesses they encounter in their everyday lives.   Whether they open an art studio, do social work, trade on Wall Street, work for the government, or bartend at the local pub, students will benefit from understanding the economic forces behind their work.

    Research shows the best way to learn is to put concepts to work with repeated practice. For this reason, frequent, quality practice is the cornerstone of the tightly-knit Foundations of Economics learning system, building student success in economics by doing economics.

    First, student attention is focused on what to study through a Checklist of clearly defined core concepts in each chapter. Section by section, Checkpoints demonstrate how to study by stepping through a Practice Problem and then engaging students with a parallel Exercise. In addition, the Third Edition addresses why we study economics through a new feature, Reality Check. With Foundations of Economics, students are taught to view economics as a skill to be honed rather than a collection of topics to be memorized.
