Product Description Micro/Macro Economics for Life 2e addresses the growing market needs and trends toward a literacy targeted approach to teaching economics, supported by an active-learning pedagogy and premium online teaching and learning resources. Macroeconomics for Life offers a new narrative-driven approach to learning and teaching economics that demonstrates the relevance of economics to students.

This text helps students become economically literate citizens, unlike traditional texts which prepare them to become economics majors.
