<br/><br/> "In addition to being updated, Basic Economics has also become more international with the inclusion of economic problems from more countries around the world, because the basic principles of economics are not confined by national borders. While most chapter titles remain the same, their contents have changed considerably, reflecting the experiences of many different peoples and cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
