What Matters to You in the 9th Edition?
Office Hours
This new feature seeks to emulate the kinds of questions you bring to Economics instructors after class. Office Hours explores key concepts such as how the money supply works; the purpose of the PPF; marginal revenue and marginal costs; and the purpose of the AD/AS framework. Enhanced “Thinking Like an Economist” This classic feature now rotates through the narrative along with two new features: Finding Economics and Common Misconceptions. Incorporating Thinking Like an Economist into the narrative of each chapter helps to better emphasize the importance of developing this skill—to view the world through the lens of economic analysis.
• Finding Economics illustrates the economics around us, such as how a technological advance in farming may end up resulting in more attorneys, accountants, or teachers.
• Common Misconceptions illuminates murky questions like whether one person’s profit is another person’s loss, and whether the wealthy really pay a lower percentage of taxes than others.

Enhanced Globalization Coverage
This chapter has been significantly expanded, revised and updated. It now offers a total picture of how globalization affects the U.S., and how economies interact throughout the world.
