Microeconomics in Context by Neva Goodwin

Microeconomics in Context by Neva Goodwin

• It features more on behavioural economics; new metrics relevant to wellbeing; a new section on markets in developing countries; more data on international trade; more coverage of worker cooperatives; refined chapters on competitive and monopoly/oligopoly markets. • Differs from other principles books on the market in its pluralist approach, covering everything the student needs to know, whilst also placing issues in their historical, institutional, social, political, and ethical context. • Includes a full complement of online resources, including PPTs, review questions and quizzes

"In my endorsement of the previous edition of Microeconomics in Context, I called it 'hands down the best'This new edition is even better. Not only is it still very accessible to students, but it is even more highly relevant. The authors present the economy as fully embedded in its wider context – social, political, historical, and environmental – and then bring in a rich understanding of economic theory to help us not only to understand the world, but also to change it."

-- Professor Judith Robinson, Castleton State College

"This textbook shifts our thinking and teaching about microeconomics! The integration of cutting-edge economic insights and applications to underexplored issues of unpaid labor, inequality, climate change, and globalization makes the book relevant and engaging. With this contextual approach and the tools offered, we are better equipped to promote improvements in societal well-being."

-- Professor Fiona MacPhail, University of Northern British Columbia
