Microeconomics

by Christopher T.S. Ragan, Richard G. Lipsey

The eleventh Canadian edition of Ragan and Lipsey represents a significant improvement to the leading textbook for university economics. At the core of the new edition remains the goal of providing students with a solid introduction to the major economic issues facing the world today, the methods that economists use to study those issues, and the policy problems that those issues create. The new edition has been thoroughly revised, updated, and streamlined to better accommodate the needs of students. The goal of the revision is to bring clarity of understanding without sacrificing comprehensiveness or the presentation of detailed explanations where appropriate. Additional Topics are presented on the Companion Website to supplement the coverage in the printed book. The book has been thoroughly updated with new information included on how economists think and test their theories, short-run versus long-run economics, government policy, globalization, and growth and development.

This was a great introduction to microeconomics. The Canadian edition provides relevant Canadian examples, and includes chapters that explain economics vis-à-vis Canadian policy and government.
