Abstract
"We offer the second edition of this text as a resource for professors who, like us, want to show students that economics can make a positive impact-in their own lives and in society as a whole. We designed the text with our own version of a "dual mandate": to deliver core economic concepts along with exciting new ideas in economic thought and to keep student learners engaged by confronting issues that are important in the world. Our intention is that this approach will help students see economics as a tool to better one's own life, promote better public policies, and run better businesses around the world."
