Welcome to an exciting and useful subject economists call “the
economic way of thinking.” As you learn this reasoning technique,
it will become infectious. You will discover that the world is full of
economics problems requiring more powerful tools than just common sense.
As you master the methods explained in this book, you will appreciate
economics as a valuable reasoning approach to solving economics puzzles.
Stated differently, the economic way of thinking is important because it
provides a logical framework for organizing your thoughts and understanding
an economic issue or event. Just to give a sneak preview, in later chapters,
you will study the perils of government price-fixing for gasoline and health
care. You will also find out why colleges and universities charge
students different tuitions for the same education. You will
investigate whether you should worry if the federal
government fails to balance its budget. You will learn that
the island of Yap uses large stones with holes in the
center as money. In the final chapter, you will study
why some countries grow rich while others remain
poor and less developed. And the list of
fascinating and relevant topics continues
throughout each chapter. As you read these
pages, your efforts will be rewarded by an
understanding of how economic theories and
policies affect our daily lives—past, present
