Welcome to the Online Learning Center for David Colander's Economics. Written in an informal colloquial style, this student-friendly Principles of Economics textbook does not sacrifice intellectual depth in its quest for accessibility. The author's primary concern is to instill "economic sensibility" in the student. Colander emphasizes the intellectual and historical context to which the economic models are applied. This new edition offers improvements to this established and respected text including special Questions from Alternate Perspectives end-of-chapter questions that facilitate class discussion of differing views of thought in the discipline, and access to over 250 minutes of new videos from Paul Solman of the Lehrer NewsHour.
The new DiscoverEcon is available with the sixth edition.
