An intro to the functioning of the economy and the power and breadth of economics

Reviewers tell us that Case, Fair, and Oster's Principles of Microeconomics is one of the all-time bestselling principles of economics texts because they trust it to be clear, thorough and complete. Readers come away with a basic understanding of how market economies function, an appreciation for the things they do well, and a sense of things they do poorly.

Hallmark features of this title

A history of excellence in economic content and application

• A 3-tiered explanation of key concepts uses intuitive stories, tables, graphs and equations to present concepts with a mathematical formula. This lets instructors effectively cover large amounts of material and helps students understand it.
• Concept Checks act as speed bumps that encourage students to stop and check their understanding of fundamental terms and concepts before moving on.

Comprehensive micro models

• Competitive market models are introduced first, followed by noncompetitive market structures. This gives students a clear understanding of basic economic theory and how market opportunities operate.
