Brochure fl ap
Michael Parkin believes that students really can think like economists from the very fi rst day of class.
Throughout this text, Parkin explores the tension between self interest and social interest, giving students a clear perspective on today’s key issues. When students think about these issues the way real economists do, they can analyze diffi cult policy issues, understand human behavior, and make more informed decisions – wherever life takes them.
Starting with this new edition, Parkin’s end-of-chapter problems can be completed and automatically graded through MyEconLab – an effective online practice and homework assessment tool that refl ects the level and approach of Parkin’s latest text.

In this new Eighth Edition, Michael Parkin once again leads the fi eld with a text that incorporates the latest theory and research to help students learn the economic way of thinking.
MICROECONOMIC UPDATES:

THINKING LIKE AN ECONOMIST MEANS “READING BETWEEN THE LINES”
“THINK LIKE AN ECONOMIST” SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST
2007Addison-Wesley
Should the U.S. send aid to developing countries? If so, which countries? And who should pay? Economists don’t take headlines at face value. They go beyond the headlines to evaluate issues using economics to consider the implications for individuals and for society as a whole.
Your fi rst economics course will introduce you to tools for evaluating today’s issues, so you can make more informed decisions as voters and in your future career.
Every chapter of Parkin’s Economics shows you how to read between the lines by analyzing the news. Use these skills to enter this contest for a $1,000 scholarship.
HERE’S HOW Choose a topic that interests you and fi nd a recent news article that covers the topic.
Evaluate the article using economic concepts. You should include
• The essence of the story (three to fi ve bullet points) to introduce the issue and why it’s of interest
• The economic analysis (twelve to fi fteen bullet points) that explain how you could present the issue in terms of economic concepts and theories you’ve learned in class
Explain your view (two bullet points) by suggesting actions you’d recommend to key policy makers and show how your analysis supports your conclusion.
