Summary

A superb supplement to economic learning, The Economics of Public Issues features short chapters that provide application of economics to current issues in everyday life. The authors examine the principles of economic analysis; supply and demand; market structures; and labor and human capital, to contemporary issues such as "killer airbags", bankrupt landlords, merger mania, and the effects of the minimum wage. Now in its Eleventh Edition, this always-topical text continues to inform and elucidate.
