"Welcome to the 23rd edition of Economics, America's most innovative-and popular-economics textbook. We are pleased to present faculty and students with comprehensive revisions, insightful new content, and significant improvements to both our online learning system and our industry-leading ancillary materials.

To satisfy that demand, our presentation of market failures, government failure, and public choice theory has been significantly restructured in Chapters 4 and 5 to allow students to quickly absorb the key lessons regarding externalities, public goods provision, voting paradoxes, the special interest effect, and other problems that hinder either markets or governments from achieving optimal social outcomes"--

The best it can do is to help students develop a basic competency in ethical analysis and acquire a measure of confidence in their judgment; it should also stimulate enough interest in the subject that they will want to continue learning about it, formally or informally, when the final chapter is completed and the course is over. Even that relatively modest aim is difficult to achieve. The author must strike the right balance between the theoretical and the practical, between breadth and depth of treatment, and between rigor and relevance, so that students are challenged but not daunted"--
