Summary: The purpose of this book is to present in a clear and systematic way the analytical core of a one-semester and a one-year course in introductory economics. Students are often overwhelmed by the encyclopedic nature of introductory texts and need a clear and concise statement of the es sentials. While primarily intended as a supplement to all introductory economics textbooks, the statements of theory and principles are suffi ciently complete to enable its use as an independent text as well. Each chapter begins with a statement of theory, principles and back ground information, fully illustrated with examples. This is followed by a set of multiple-choice review questions with answers. Numerous theoretical and practical problems are then presented with detailed, step by-step solutions. These solved problems illustrate and amplify the theory, bring into sharp focus those fine points which the student often feels unsure of, and provide the application and reinforcement so vital to effective learning. There are also sample midterm and final examinations with answers. The topics are arranged in the order in which they are usually covered in all basic economics textbooks and introductory courses. A one-semester course in economics usually covers Chapters 1-6, 8, 10, 15-16 and 19-20. In a one-year course, Chapters 1-13 are usually covered in the first se mester stressing macroeconomics, and Chapters 1-2 and 14-23 in the second semester covering microeconomics. This sequence can be re versed, however, without loss of continuity. The methodology of this book and its content have been tested in both small and large classes in introductory economics courses at Fordham University. The students were enthusiastic and made many valuable suggestions for improvements. To all of them, we are deeply grateful. We also would like to thank George Carovanos, Francis Hilton, Julie Ross and Kevin Wynne of our graduate school for their helpful comments.
