The excitement of learning economics for the first time.
The experience of a lifetime of teaching it.
The Eighth Edition of Exploring Microeconomics
captures the excitement of learning microeconomics for the first time
through a lively and encouraging narrative that connects microeconomics
to the world in a way that is familiar to readers. Author Robert L.
Sexton draws on over 25 years of teaching experience to capture readers’
attention, focusing on core concepts and expertly weaving in examples
from current events and popular culture to make even classic economic
principles modern and relatable. The text sticks to the basics and
applies a thoughtful learning design, segmenting its presentation into
brief, visually appealing, self-contained sections that are easier for
readers to digest and retain compared to sprawling text.
Thoughtfully
placed section quizzes, interactive summaries, and problem sets help
readers check their comprehension at regular intervals and develop the
critical thinking skills that will allow them to "think like
economists." Exploring Microeconomics will ignite readers’ passion for the field and reveal its practical application in the world around them.
