GDAE Economics Textbooks & Teaching Modules

A fresh approach to teaching and learning economics

Microeconomics in Context

Inexpensive and innovative, Microeconomics in Context covers microeconomic concepts and models while including serious consideration of ecological and social concerns. Rather than focusing only on markets and efficiency, this book starts with the question of human well-being and then examines how economic activities can contribute to, or detract from, well-being. It includes a new chapter on behavioral economics and rationality.
