For instructors teaching a one-semester Micro-Macro survey course we present

Brue and McConnell’s Essentials of Economics

This new text provides a fresh alternative for anyone taking or
teaching this introductory course. It offers up-to-date and mo-
tivating examples that present a patient, substantive treatment
of micro- and macroeconomics for the one-semester course.

This is an entirely new book. Brue and McConnell have thor-
oughly reworked all topics from Economics: Principles, Problems,
and Policies so that chapter order, level of difficulty, and read-
ability are more appropriate for the faster-paced essentials
course. The text’s Table of Contents is provided below.
