ECONOMICS: PRIVATE AND PUBLIC CHOICE includes many more engaging elements--such as scenes from popular movies and applications of economic theory to real-world issues--to help you see how these theories apply to the world around you. Each chapter has been updated to reflect today's market, including analysis and explanation of measures of current economic activity. You'll also find highlights of the lives of notable economists and how they contributed to the thinking that shapes our markets today. Common economic myths are dispelled, and the "invisible hand" metaphor is applied to economic theory, demonstrating how it's working even today to stimulate the economy. This 12th edition includes new technology features such as a robust set of online multimedia learning tools, including video clips and free quizzes designed to support your classroom work; a completely updated Aplia interactive learning system with practice problems, interactive tutorials, online experiences, and more.

True Economics,
By
This review is from: Microeconomics: Private and Public Choice (Paperback)
This book really does show true economic principles. It gives the behind the scenes look at what is really taking place economically. Why do things happen the way they do? Should the government put on a price cap or floor? What about the economic policies of Senator John McCain and Senator Barrack Obama? Who is more economically sound? This book really allows the everyday reader to understand the basic principles of economics that even some of our politicians don't really understand. Check this book out if you desire a better understanding of the economic world around you!

This review is from: Microeconomics: Private and Public Choice (Paperback)
Terrible textbook. Glosses over anything of importance, makes even simple concepts difficult to understand, and gives very few practice questions (and those that are included often do not correspond with material just covered in text, are too vaguely worded, and/or cannot be answered based on the information given). I would not recommend this even for a basic survey class. Oh, and that's not even mentioning the ideological biases of the authors.
