Princeton University Press publishes the most influential and groundbreaking books in economics and finance, books that actively influence how the field defines and redefines itself through a broad range of new and challenging ideas and an increasingly diverse group of authors and perspectives.

We publish textbooks that anticipate new courses, monographs that bring together monumental work in new ways, and bestsellers that directly influence policy and inform the daily lives of all readers.
