Features of This Edition

We have made a careful effort with this edition to incorporate features that

will facilitate the teaching and learning of economics.

• A set of Learning Objectives at the beginning of each chapter, correlated

to the Chapter Outline, clarifies the skills and knowledge to be learned in

each chapter. These same learning objectives are used in the chapter summaries,

as well as in the Study Guide .

• Major ideas are highlighted with a yellow background in the text.

• Key terms are boldfaced where they are defined in the body of the text,

and they are restated with their definitions in the margins. In the index at

the back of the book, each key term and the page reference to its definition

are boldfaced.

• The colour scheme for figures consistently uses the same colour for each

type of curve. For example, all demand curves are blue and all supply

curves are red.

• A caption for each figure and table summarizes the underlying economic

reasoning. Each caption begins with a boldfaced statement of the relevant

economic conclusion.

• Applying Economic Concepts boxes demonstrate economics in action,

providing examples of how theoretical material relates to issues of current

interest.

• Extensions in Theory boxes provide a deeper treatment of a theoretical

topic that is discussed in the text.

• Lessons from History boxes contain discussions of a particular policy

debate or empirical finding that takes place in a historical context.

• Photographs with short captions are interspersed
