"This text presents the core principles of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and international economics. The first 14 chapters introduce the logic of economic analysis and develop the core of microeconomic analysis. Here the students learn the role of demand and supply in determining prices in competitive versus monopolistic markets. This part of the book explores issues such as minimum wage laws, rent control, and pollution. The next 13 chapters develop the macroeconomics part of the text. Using the modern yet simple aggregate demand aggregate supply model, the text explains measurement of and changes in price level, national output, and employment in the economy. The study of macroeconomics also includes how the supply of and demand for money influence the economy. This text concludes with three chapters devoted entirely to global issues. For example students will learn how the supply of and demand for currencies determine exchange rates and what the complications of a strong or a weak dollar are." --Page xxi
