Material Detail

An introductory economics textbook for the first decade of the 21st century needs to create strong connections between the basic concepts of the course and the economic subjects of high interest to students. The fundamental tools and terms of introductory economics -- including supply and demand, perfect and imperfect competition, externalities and public goods, economic growth, unemployment and inflation, international trade, fiscal and monetary policy -- are set forth with a combination of step-by-step explanations and lively examples, drawing on the author’s experience as an award-winning teacher. The examples and structure throughout the book also draw out some issues on the radar screens of many students."
