New to This Edition

Technology that offers the best value and price. Because students’ needs are changing, our most powerful learning option is now also our most affordable. SaplingPlus is a new digital solution that supports students and instructors at each stage in the learning path, from pre-class to in-class and post-class. It combines LearningCurve with an integrated e-Book, robust homework, an improved Graphing Player, and fully digital end-of-chapter problems including Work It Outs. And if print is important, a package with a loose-leaf copy of the text is only a few dollars more. For programs that are interested, LaunchPad is also available for the fifth edition.

Current events framed by the world’s best communicators of economics. No other text stays as fresh as Krugman and Wells. The authors—who have explained economics to millions through trade books and newspaper columns—offer a new online feature, News Analysis, that pairs journalistic takes on pressing issues with questions based on Bloom’s taxonomy. This complements the text’s unparalleled coverage of current topics: sustainability, the economic impact of technology, pressing policy debates, and much more.

A richer commitment to broadening students’ understanding of the global economy. With unparalleled insight and clarity, the authors use their hallmark narrative approach to take students outside of the classroom and into our global world. Starting with a new opening story on the economic transformation in China’s Pearl River Delta, the global focus is carried throughout with more on the ascendance of China’s economy, the Euro and events in Europe (including Brexit), and post-recession economies around the globe.

Thoroughly updated throughout. The third edition has been updated to reflect our always changing world. Along with updated graphs and changes in every chapter in the text, the new edition features dozens of new chapter-opening stories, business cases, and Economics in Action applications.

"Micro by Krugman was a dream come true for me. The organization of this textbook is exactly what I was looking for. It allows for natural progression towards more complex concepts as we near the last part of the course." --Rabia Aziz, Kwantlen Polytechnic University
