Synopsis

"Microeconomics, 17e", by Samuelson and Nordhaus, is the classic text which set the standard for principles of economics texts when it was introduced in 1948. This text has been the standard-bearer in principles books for over 50 years, presenting a clear, accurate, and interesting introduction to economics that allows students to study the world and see patterns of economic life. Bill Nordhaus is now the primary author of this modern treatment of microeconomics which has been thoroughly updated.
