Economic theory is presented in a simple, market-oriented framework at a level of technicality that is deliberately appropriate for a basic first course in economics directed at non-majors. Complex topics more appropriate for a Principles of Economics course are left out or contained in appendices. In analyzing economic situations and the implications of policies, liberal and conservative viewpoints are effectively balanced. The text also encourages students to get involved in the issues discussed.目录SECTION I: INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMICS, SCARCITY, PUBLIC GOODS, AND SPILLOVERS. 1. Introduction. 2. Crime and Drugs. 3.
