Summary: Our major objective is to ensure that students learn the basic economic principles that provide unique insights into how the world works. Just as one task of any good actor is to keep the audience from yawning, our goal cannot be realized if students find the material so difficult, abstract, or dull that they will not read it--an all-too-common failing. Good writing and powerful examples can overcome student apathy and a routine failure to link «textbook" economics with highly-publicized, real-world issues. Smooth and logical flow are a product of revision-and more revision. We are pleased that each new edition of Microeconomics seems livelier and more polished than its predecessor. Far more than most principles texts, this book applies theory to a rich variety of everyday experiences, historical events, and recent headlines. These intuitively appealing examples help students internalize and apply economic reasoning.
