Summary, etc. The past twelve years have brought changes that have greatly affected our way of living and working. Although some of these changes have been due to the great depression and more recently to the Second World War, many of them are of a permanent nature. During this period there has also been a great change in the subject matter content of secondary-school texts and in the manner of pre senting this material. This has been especially true of economics. Under these circumstances, a new textbook in economics seems called for.<br/><br/>It is the aim of this text to provide the student with an intro ductory survey of the principles of economics and of some of the major economic trends of the modern era. Considerable attention is given to the place of government in the economics of an interdepend ent world. Government is considered as a large business corporation carrying on many national enterprises. Its taxes, credit, and principal. economic activities in behalf of the general welfare are discussed. A chapter on future economic possibilities growing out of present-day trends has been included. The major economie systems have been treated rather fully.<br/><br/>The book is divided into seven parts, each of which treats a major phase of our economic life. Much emphasis has been placed upon. consumer interest and welfare; special problems dealing with personal, everyday economic matters have been given at the end of many chapters. It should be kept in mind that the author has treated in detail personal economic problems in his text "Your Personal Economics."<br/>
