About the Book

Brown and Zupan's revision plan for Microeconomics: Theory & Application, 11 th Edition, includes general updates and revisions throughout including new information on behavioral economics, game theory, price theory, and problems for every chapter. The text features a new "solved" problems section in applicable chapters, and a new feature for WRK. In addition, Browning and Zupan use text and graphs, nearly without any math at all to teach microeconomic concepts. This edition is also enhanced with large clear graphs with simple exposition explaining the dynamic make learning very simple; new real-world applications which are up to date and help readers engage with the book; and international applications acknowledge that everything happens today in a global environment.
