Macroeconomics: Canada in the Global Environment

"The economic way of thinking is a foundational skill for citizenship and career. Every feature of Parkin/Bade helps the student develop this skill, repeatedly using its central ideas of tradeoff; opportunity cost; the margin; incentives; the gains from voluntary exchange; the forces of demand, supply, and equilibrium; the pursuit of economic rent; and the tension between self-interest and the social interest." -- publisher's website.
