Features: The reason why this book has remained popular for nearly three decades and is consistently well-received is because the author has consistently adhered to two goals: (1) stimulating students' interest in economics; (2) providing a fundamental analytical framework to help understand social issues. The book first introduces and discusses important aspects of contemporary social issues, and then proposes economic methods closely related to these issues that can help people solve them. The book is carefully arranged to present basic economic concepts in a logical order, and by repeatedly applying these concepts, it enhances understanding of them. In summary, the most prominent feature of this book is: using the most incisive theories in economics to analyze the most significant issues in reality.
