Fundamentals of Economics - Tapa blanda

Fundamentals of Economics remains the first brief survey textbook to thoroughly integrate international economic issues while retaining concise coverage of core economic models. Boyes and Melvin have distilled formal theories to place key microeconomic and macroeconomic concepts in a real-world context. The condensed format gives instructors the flexibility to supplement the Second Edition with outside cases, readings, group projects, and classroom projects. Each chapter highlights the decisions of real companies and government policies from around the world to illustrate how economic principles affect organisations, governments, and - ultimately-students. Highlights of this second edition: - New! The Second Edition includes more discussion of the four market structures (monopoly, perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly) - New!
