Synopsis

Lieberman/Hall is the first book designed specially for the one-semester Introduction to Economics course. In 22 chapters, it covers all of the core topics found in longer Principles books aimed at a full-year course. Introduction to Economics presents economics as a unified subject in which the macroeconomics chapters build on, and flow from, the macroeconomics chapters.
