Since then, the book has been translated into more than a dozen languages and has been used at hundreds of schools to introduce economics to hundreds of thousands of students around the world. South-Western is now pleased to bring you this third edition. To help you in your study, South-Western has prepared a variety of student resources to accompany the book.
