Basic Economic Principles is a comprehensive reference guide. It is organized around 15
essential questions that deal with economics and economic systems, prices, behavior of
consumers and producers, money and credit, saving and investing, taxation and
government spending, government stabilization policies, income distribution and poverty,
workers and management, and international trade. These focus questions invite students,
teachers, and other readers to explore the subject, to locate pertinent information, and to
devise additional questions.
