Feigenbaum and Hafer’s innovative text is based on the idea that economics is an integral part of students’ lives. The text provides an economic framework for exploring the wide array of choices that span a person’s life cycle. The authors’ goal in Principles of Microeconomics: The Way We Live is to help students cultivate an appreciation for and an ability to use their economic “instincts.” Their approach uses common experiences to demonstrate to students that they already engage in economic reasoning. The authors build from the individual to the household to the firm and then to the economy at large.

Look Inside Look Inside Principles of Microeconomics by Susan Feigenbaum; R.W. Hafer - First Edition, 2013 from Macmillan Student Store

Feigenbaum and Hafer’s innovative text is based on the idea that economics is an integral part of students’ lives. The text provides an economic framework for exploring the wide array of choices that span a person’s life cycle. The authors’ goal in Principles of Microeconomics: The Way We Live is to help students cultivate an appreciation for and an ability to use their economic “instincts.” Their approach uses common experiences to demonstrate to students that they already engage in economic reasoning. The authors build from the individual to the household to the firm and then to the economy at large.

Features

Focus on the Connections Between Micro and Macro
Feignbaum and Hafer emphasize the micro foundations of macroeconomics, showing students how individual decisions relate to the overall working of the economy.  In addition, the text shows students how macro-level decisions (such as monetary policy) affect decisions by individuals and businesses.
 
A Streamlined Text—Not an Encyclopedic Review
The book keeps students focused on essential economics concepts, as demonstrated in today’s most pressing issues and policy debates, such as outsourcing, immigration, income inequality, and interest rate determination.
