Fundamentals of Economics

Fundamentals of Economics, 6th Edition, is an introductory textbook designed for a one-term course for non-majors. The volume presents fundamental economic principles through the commercial decisions of actual companies and public policies pursued by world leaders.

The text examines economic conditions in the United States and globally. Coverage incorporates discussions of economic developments and policy choices, including healthcare actions under the Obama administration.

To assist students, chapters open around three to six Fundamental Questions. These questions reappear in margins and concluding summaries to help organize core topics throughout the study of economics.
