Synopsis

Since introducing the aggregate supply/aggregate demand model as a fundamental tool for learning economics over two decades ago, William J. Baumol and Alan S. Blinder continue their long tradition of equipping students with the knowledge and tools they need to apply modern economics to their world. Hallmark features include one of the strongest policy treatments on the market and a careful and in-depth focus on the most important economic tools students should retain after the course is over. The 2007 Update edition of ECONOMICS: PRINCIPLES AND POLICY also continues the Baumol and Blinder tradition of graphing and data currency - making it the most up to date text available.
