Modern Principles of Economics
Where I heard about it
- University of Austin — the only assigned text in Foundations of Microeconomics on its Fall 2025 reading list (November 2025): the entire course runs on this one book, a stronger endorsement than a reading list usually makes. Full curriculum: UATX Fall Reading List.
About this edition
An actively revised textbook (Worth Publishers) with several editions since 2007; the reading list names no edition.
