Real World Micro is a great supplement to any mainstream introductory textbook. In addition to presenting alternative perspectives on the basics supply and demand, production and consumption decisions, market structure and monopoly Real World Micro relates theoretical principles to government policies, corporate strategies, workplace issues, and consumer behavior. The thoroughly updated 19th edition tackles a range of hot-button topics including the ongoing financial crisis, unemployment, predatory lending, income inequality, affordable housing, CEO compensation, bank bailouts, free trade versus protectionism, the global oil market, and much more. Chapter introductions review the concepts examined in each article, and discussion questions help students relate the articles to the theories in standard textbooks. Real World Micro's readable articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the leading magazine of popular economics.

"I ve had great success with Real World Micro. Students really like its short, snappy analysis of current events and feel challenged by its alternative viewpoint." --Susan Helper, Case Western Reserve University
"The principles of economics books (yes, even mine) tend to be on the dull side and leave aspects of the economy and economics unchallenged. Real World Micro and Macro can spice up your course and lead students to ask the type of questions they should be asking." --David Colander, Middlebury College
