Ebooks Free Download | Microeconomics | Welcome to the ninth edition of Microeconomics, North America’s best-selling economics textbook. More than 7 million Canadian and U. S. students have now used this book. It has been adapted into Australian, Italian, Russian, and Chinese editions, and translated into French, Spanish, and other languages. We thoroughly revised, polished, and updated this edition. To use a software analogy, this is version 9.0, not 8.1 or 8.2. The comments of reviewers and survey correspondents provided encouragement, motivated improvements, and sparked innovation. Streamlined Presentations Amajor revision goal was to streamline presentations, where possible, without compromising the thoroughness of our explanations.
Our efforts resulted in a more efficient organization and greater clarity. An example is Chapter 4, “An Overview of the Market System and the Canadian economy,” which is both shorter and better organized than before. You will find similar kinds of improvements throughout the ninth edition. Where needed, of course, the “extra sentence of explanation” remains a distinguishing characteristic of Microeconomics. Brevity at the expense of clarity is a false economy. Improved Content The Ten Key Concepts, which appeared in the eighth edition, have been reinforced with margin icons when they are discussed later in the text. This serves to integrate the key concepts throughout the text. We have made a number of micro discussions less daunting and more interesting by changing abstract, axiomatic examples (such as X and Y) to concrete examples familiar to students.
Also, in keeping with our goal of streamlining discussions, we have consolidated and deleted selected content that was either peripheral to the discussion or was covered in further detail in later chapters. Instructors rarely assign all five micro application chapters (regulation and anticombines, agriculture, income inequality and poverty, and labour market issues), but they appreciate the option to select two or three. We gave these chapters particular attention, revising and updating throughout. For example, Chapter 13 on competition and government regulation is consolidated and now ends with a new Last Word on the Microsoft case. Chapter 20 on agriculture reflects the recent decline in the prices of some farm products. The discussion of income inequality in Chapter 17 is reorganized for greater clarity and smoother flow.
