In writing Principles of Microeconomics, vol. 2.0, Libby Rittenberg and Timothy Tregarthen’s goals were simple:

      • Teach economics as the study of “choice”
      • Demonstrate the practicality and relevance of economics through new illustrations and insights.

This textbook is suitable for these courses: Microeconomics

      • ”YOU TRY IT”:

This section encourages students to walk through scenarios related to each concept and idea.

      • ”CASE IN POINT”:
