Microeconomics: Principles And Policy+cd-Rom 9th Ed.

Description: Microeconomics: Principles and Policy remains a proven leader in the world of economics. Considered as the best policy focused principles text in the market, William J. Baumol and Alan S. Blinder's text offers a fundamental tool for learning economics. With nine editions to perfect their message, the authors continue to equip students with the knowledge and tools they need to apply modern economics to their world--now and in the future. This is all the more true today, as the U.S. economy enters its first recession in more than a decade.

Review: I was looking for a book that was very clear, written in a way that the students would find interesting, and which had many examples and policy applications based on current events. In addition, I had a strong preference for a text that would cover micro before macro, and that emphasized areas of wide agreement among economists in the area of macroeconomics. I found that the Baumol-Blinder text best met these criteria. I think that overall the Baumol-Blinder text is excellent. The macro part in particular is much stronger than what I have seen in most other texts."
