Description
Paying close attention to significant topics neglected by most principles-level texts-such as imperfect markets and the centrality of technological change in modern economies-the authors provided beginning students with the tools to interpret economic realities in the world around them. The Second Edition continues this tradition. Updated to reflect recent economic change and with more tightly focused chapters, the Second Edition remains the strongest text for students of Canadian economics.
