Foundations of Microeconomics Plus Myeconlab in Coursecompass Student Access Kit Value Package (Includes Study Guide for Foundations of Microeconomics)

Robin Bade,Michael Parkin (University of Western Ontario)

Economics is a subject you learn by doing. Foundations of Microeconomics breaks the mold of a traditional text and becomes a practice-oriented learning system. Each chapter uses a Checklist to focus readers’ attention on the most important key concepts. A discrete section introduces each of these core concepts and is immediately followed by a Checkpoint, a full page of practice that applies the concept. The result is a patient, confidence-building approach that prepares readers to use economics in their lives, regardless of what their future career will be.
