Parkin invites students to:
* See and understand the issues of our time in the brightest light, with the most compelling examples and clearest explanation.
* Visualize economic principles in action using a widely acclaimed approach to graphical analysis.
* Gain perspective on current economic events and today's principal economic thinkers through a series of carefully crafted features.
