Real world micro

the long version

"In addition to presenting alternative perspectives on the basics: supply and demand, production and consumption decisions, market structure and monopoly Real World Micro explores economic principles by discussing government policy and workplace issues. The new edition tackles a range of hot-button topics including the Social Security debate, affordable housing, CEO compensation, the privatization of public goods like water, and the consequences of unchecked global and national inequality. The thoroughly revised and expanded 13th edition also contains new chapter introductions reviewing the concepts examined in each article, as well as discussion questions relating them to a standard textbook. And while Real World Micro is a great supplement to any mainstream text, its articles are now keyed to David Colander's popular textbook, Economics, and its microeconomics "split." Real World Micro's readable articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the leading magazine of popular economics."--Publisher.
