Written with a clean and to-the-point style, mimicking the author’s popular blog Marginal Revolution, ensuring the content is accessible to all students.
Provides support for different learning styles with reference to over 180 Marginal Revolution videos within the text, also available digitally.
Contains relevant material that many other books ignore, such as how managers should choose between piece rates and tournaments and how firms increase their profits using bundling and tying.
A purpose built simple Solow model means that the Solow model of economic growth is accessible for students- allowing them to grasp this early during their principles courses.
A powerful, more realistic AD-AS model combines insights from New Keynesian and Real Business Cycle models enabling a balanced understanding of these key concepts.

Achieve is Macmillan Learning’s complete online learning system. It houses instructor resources to support teaching and a range of interactive resources and the full ebook to help students succeed in their course. Access to Achieve for instructors is available on this page. Student access to Achieve could be through their institution if the institution has signed a license or as a separate student purchase. The instructor must set up a course for students to benefit from this product.

Interactive Graphs, in the e-book and in a Graphing Bank, allow students to engage with economic models to see how components of the graph change as market dynamics change. Every data graph in the text is now interactive.
Learning Economics from AI (in the preface) show students how to use resources such as ChatGPT or Bing Chat to get meaningful answers to economics questions.
Thorough Coverage of the Great Financial Crisis and the Pandemic Recession using Cowen/Tabbarok’s dynamic AD-AS model to examine a recession that was initially demand-driven, then supply-driven. Cowen and Tabbarok take students beyond the shifting of curves and towards discussions of shadow banking, securitisation, the microeconomics of externalities, and how monetary and fiscal policy must change when the goal isn’t to get people back to work.
New Insights into the Federal Reserve and its ability to influence aggregate demand by adjusting interest on reserves.

“Econ majors need the basics and the book provides them along with great examples. They only need to understand the basics at this point anyway, as intermediate micro will drill them much more into the concepts, and thus Cowen’s presentation seems almost perfect.” —Damian Park, Santa Clara University

“Cowen goes into depth with real-world examples, narrative, and math examples. The graphs and other visual aids matched well with the content and enhance the descriptions of the theory.” —Jeff Glover, Pitt Community College

“My students, regardless of their demographics, find this material engaging because it describes a real-world feature of market economies that many students intuitively find concerning and interesting.” —Zac Gochenour, James Madison University
