This edition features the exact same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole- punched, loose-leaf version. Books à la Carte also offer a great value–this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Haeussler, Paul, and Wood establish a strong algebraic foundation that sets this text apart from other applied mathematics texts, paving the way for readers to solve real-world problems that use calculus. Emphasis on developing algebraic skills is extended to the exercises–including both drill problems and applications. The authors work through examples and explanations with a blend of rigor and accessibility. In addition, they have refined the flow, transitions, organization, and portioning of the content over many editions to optimize learning for readers. The table of contents covers a wide range of topics efficiently, enabling readers to gain a diverse understanding.

Underlying common law are two basic rules: 1) do all that you agreed to do and 2) do not encroach on other persons or their property."

(This book examines the long term economic growth that has...)
This book examines the long term economic growth that has raised the West's material living standards to levels undreamed of by counterparts in any previous time or place. The authors argue that this growth has been driven by technological revolutions that have periodically transformed the West's economic, social and political landscape over the last 10,000 years and allowed the West to become, until recently, the world's only dominant technological force. Unique in the diversity of the analytical techniques used, the book begins with a discussion of the causes and consequences of economic growth and technological change. The authors argue that long term economic growth is largely driven by pervasive technologies now known as General Purpose (GPTs). They establish an alternative to the standard growth models that use an aggregate production function and then introduce the concept of GPTs, complete with a study of how these technologies have transformed the West since the Neolithic Agricultural Revolution. Early modern science is given more importance than in most other treatments and the 19th century demographic revolution is studied with a combination of formal models of population dynamics and historical analysis. The authors argue that once sustained growth was established in the West, formal models can shed much light on its subsequent behavior. They build non-conventional, dynamic, non-stationary equilibrium models of GPT-driven growth that incorporate a range of phenomena that their historical studies show to be important but which are excluded from other GPT models in the interests of analytical tractability. The book concludes with a study of the policy implications that follow from their unique approach.

(From a situation of near zero in 1990, the US current acc...)
From a situation of near zero in 1990, the US current account deficit has expanded to a record level of almost $900 billion in 2006. Debate about the deficit's causes and consequences has also grown. Is the deficit a product of American profligacy or a 'glut of savings' in the rest of the world? Is it a disaster waiting to happen or the natural and essentially benign consequence of an integrated world economy? "Untangling the US Deficit" charts a course between these competing explanations in a systematic and rigorous approach, incorporating the latest academic research and market data, gauging the origins and sources of the deficit, its sustainability and the urgency of corrective action. Richard Iley and Mervyn Lewis conclude that there is no single cause of the US current account deficit and no single solution. While they view the deficit as primarily 'made in USA' with the monetary policy of the Greenspan Fed playing a greater role than China's exchange rate policies, the unique role of the US dollar in the world order means that the deficit is less threatening and more sustainable than is often argued. The authors see no compelling case for policy intervention to 'tackle' the deficit. This unique and well-researched book will be of great interest to academic economists and postgraduates. Market, business and government economists will also find it to be an enlightening and challenging account.

Earliest work was on welfare economics. Studies of the ambiguous welfare effects of customs unions led to the General Theory of Second Best. Early interest in value theory led to a sorting out of stocks and flows and temporary and full equilibrium in Patinkin’s first edition model.
Interest in micro-behavioural models led to the first attempt to provide micro underpinnings of the Phillips curve as well as the first empirical tests of some of Phillips’ hypotheses and later articles on the micro underpinnings of the Phillips curve and the place of the Phillips curve in macroeconomic models. A continued interest in inflation has led to a series of articles starting with Phillips curve work, including a supply-side survey in the early 1980s and going through a series of contributions to the debate over the cause of and cures of inflation in the 1980s, mainly published in Canada. An early interest in methodology led to the introduction of some of Popper’s ideas of testability and a critique of Robbins’ views in the Nature ana Significance of Economic Science into a textbook (No.
1, above) that has been a best-seller (not sold in the United States) since 1963. Work on spatial economics with B.C. Eaton
began seriously in 1970 and has led to a series of over a dozen articles on spatial aspects of value theory and industrial organisation. Among other things this work has shown that Hotelling’s model does not provide a consistent explanation of the clustering of firms, while comparison and multi-purpose shopping does.
Much of this work is summarised and placed in a general context in No.
