Samuelson's text was first published in 1948, and it immediately became the authority for the principles of economics courses. The book continues to be the standard-bearer for principles courses, and this revision continues to be a clear, accurate, and interesting introduction to modern economics principles. Bill Nordhaus is now the primary author of this text, and he has revised the book to be as current and relevant as ever.
Superior coverage of capital, interest and profits. Chapter 15: Capital, Interest and Profits, has been combined from the previous editions section on the theory of capital (chapter 14) and interest rates (Chapter 25) to be a more coherent chapter that starts with the concepts of rates of return, present value, and interest rates, then presents the basic theory of capital.
Updated view of financial markets and monetary policy. Chapter 23: Money and Financial Markets, has been thoroughly rewritten to move from quantitative thinking about the role of the money supply toward the new channel view in which the Fed sets interest rates on the basis of objectives, particularly in the section on banking. Chapter 24: Central Banking and Monetary Policy, also makes the transition from the monetary-quantitative world to the new interest-rate world, and includes new diagrams to explain the monetary-transmission mechanism.
Data updated throughout: The authors have worked carefully to update data throughout the book with the very latest economic information.
Strong pedagogy: The boxed material in the text contains icons that alert students to difficult concepts, brief biographies of relevant historical figures, and real-world examples of the concepts discussed in the text. Examples in the text include European Monetary Union, Network Economics, the Microsoft case, diminishing returns, and globalization. Not only will these current examples pique student interest and relate the topics to practical matters, but these icons help flag these interesting and timely features.
Strong End of Chapter Material: The end of chapter material includes a list of resources For Further Reading and a listing of relevant Web Sites for each chapter along with a brief description of the kind of material that can be researched at these sites on the Internet. These EOC sections help students conduct research and learn more.
Focuses on the Analytical Core: the 18th Edition continues to emphasize the Analytical Core of Economics with particular attention to economic growth (macro) and analysis of market economics (micro). This emphasis helps students focus on the most important concepts in the course.
Real-World and Policy-Focused: Samuelson/Nordhaus always keeps an eye on the importance of economics for public policy and world events, including important events such as the Microsoft trial, inflation and Federal Reserve monetary policy, the recent resurgence in productivity growth, new tools in deregulation, global public goods and the Kyoto Protocol for global warming.
