Economics is a living discipline. Through nine editions of Economics, our basic motivation has been to provide a text that reflects the tremendous changes in the discipline over the decades. The first major theme of this book is to reflect the movement of economics toward becoming a science and exhibiting the key characteristics that marks any science: the systematic confrontation of theory with observation. A second major theme concerns the relationship between economic theory and economic policy. The third major feature has to do with the way we view students. We have tried to be as honest with them as possible within the limits of an introductory textbook.

Excellent referenceExcellent reading

The 8th edition of this textbook is completely revised. The theory is fully illustrated with modern applied examples, drawn from international events. It features new material on modern theory, further applications sections illustrating the theory covered, more references to policy issues, and up-to-date coverage of the international institutional environment. In addition, the text has been designed to increase students' understanding: it uses colours to illustrate graphs and important points in the text; and makes full use of boxes and tables to provide associated material and case studies. Algebraic explanations are retained in the book, to provide for the more advanced student, but are restricted to appendices in order to enable all students to understand the intuitively-based explanations contained in the text.
