Features: This is already the 15th edition of an introductory economics textbook, which is very popular in Western countries, especially in universities in the United States. The reason why this book has remained popular for nearly three decades and is deeply favored by readers is that the author has consistently adhered to two goals: (1) stimulating students' interest in economics; (2) providing a basic analytical framework to help understand social issues. The book first introduces and discusses important aspects of contemporary social issues, and then proposes some economics-based methods closely related to these issues that can help people solve them. The book is carefully arranged to discuss issues in a logical order, introducing basic economic concepts and strengthening the understanding of these concepts through their repeated use. In short, the most prominent feature of this book is its use of the most incisive theories in economics to analyze the most important issues in reality.
