Microeconomics: Private Markets and Public Choice

Author: Robert Ekelund

KEY BENEIFT: The Sixth Edition of this introduction to principles of economics again integrates the public choice theme with a discussion of basic economic issues, while including many new analyses of domestic policies, and proposals and current global events. The free market approach begins in Chapter One with a condensed and accessible discussion contrasting market and non-market institutions, and is carried throughout the text. The book features a tightened exposition of microeconomics, more coverage of environmental economics and the economics of information, many new applications, and the addition of Internet-based exercises to each chapter. For business novices.
