About the book
Microeconomics in Context lays out the principles of microeconomics in a manner that is thorough, up to date, and relevant to students.

--A powerful graphical presentation of various measures of well-being in the United States, from income inequality and educational attainment to home prices;
--Broad definition of well-being using both traditional economic metrics and factors such as environmental quality, health, equity, and political inclusion;
--New chapters on the economics of the environment, taxes and tax policy, common property and public goods, and welfare analysis;
--Expanded coverage of high-interest topics such as behavioral economics, labor markets, and healthcare;
--Full complement of instructor and student support materials online, including test banks and grading through Canvas.
