Sinopse
In this book, Case & Fair present a very precise and simplified microeconomic model first, before introducing all the exceptions and subtleties of a more complex economic world. Only after this simplified model is developed, do the authors give a throrough treatment of market imperfections, externalities, public finance, and international economics. A detailed summary of this approach can be found in the preface. The Keynesian Cross is an integral part of this text. Case & Fair believe strongly, that a text should use the Keynsian Cross carefully and systematically, to build up to the AD/AS model. One of the great benefits of this appoach, is that students won't mistakenly apply what they learned about simple demand and supply to aggregate demand & supply.
