Summary

The world looks different through the eyes of an economist. From internet dating and antiwar protests to citrus farming, caviar, and Canadian prescription drugs--everything looks different through the eyes of an economist. Recognized for it's extensive collection of intriguing applications, Browning & Zupan's Microeconomics: Theory & Applications, Ninth Edition teaches you how to look at the world through the eyes of an economist.
