Essentials of Economics (with Xtra!)

Mankiw now provides an excellent resource for readers who are seeing economics for the first time. His two-semester version of the text has received such praise as "perhaps the best ever" textbook in economic principles. It's no wonder Mankiw?s prize project has quickly become one of the most successful books ever to be published in the college marketplace. The author?s conversational writing style is superb for presenting the politics and science of economic theories to tomorrow?s decision-makers. Because Mankiw wrote it for learners, the book stands out among all other texts by encouraging learners to apply an economic way of thinking to their daily lives.
