Principles of microeconomics / Edwin Mansfield - FIFTH EDITION - New York : W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., c1986 - xvi, 418, 57 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm.

Includes index.

Part One. Introduction to Economics -- Part Two. The Private Sector and the Public Sector: An Overview -- Part Three. Consumer Behavior and Business Decision Making -- Part Four. Market Structure and Antitrust Policy -- Part Five. Distribution of Income -- Part Six. Energy and the Environment -- Part Seven. International Economics.

Any principles text must keep current with the state of economic know-edge, especially as it applies to the economic issues of the day. The fifth edition of Principles of Microeconomics does this, in ways I outline below. But the most fundamental change in this edition is not one of organization or style: it involves a new emphasis which, I believe, will lead to far greater understanding and retention of the core material of the introductory course.
