Principles of Economics: Economics and the Economy

Timothy Taylor is the Managing Editor of the Journal of Economic Perspectives--one of the most widely-read and highly respected journals in Economics. With this principles textbook, Taylor has written a mainstream offering; he covers all the main topics in a balanced way, and writes about the subject with no ideological ax to grind. The focus of this text is on helping students solve problems: Taylor walks students through the problem-solving process, while consistently builds connections between the concepts in the text and the economic events of the last few years.
