Part One
What Is Economics?


This Opening Part Of The Book Provides An Introduction To Economics. The Central Themes
Of Chapter 1 Are Scarcity, Choice, Opportunity Cost, And The Self-Organizing Role Of
Markets. The Chapter Also Examines The Gains From Specialization And Trade, The Role Of
Money, The Effects Of Globalization, And Ends With A Discussion Of The Various Types Of
Economic Systems. Chapter 2 Examines How Economists Build Their Models And Test Their
Theories. It Also Addresses Central Methodological Issues, The Most Important Being The Idea
That The Progress Of Economics (Like All Scientific Disciplines) Depends On Relating Our
Theories To What We Observe In The World Around Us. Finally, The Chapter Has An Extensive
Section On Graphing.
***
Chapter 1 Opens With A Brief Tour Of Some Key Economic Issues In Canada And Other
Countries— From Rising Protectionism And The Dangers Of Climate Change To Accelerating
Technological Change And Growing Income Inequality. The Purpose Is To Whet The Reader‘S
Appetite For The Kinds Of Issues Economists Are Thinking About Today. This Offers A Natural
Segue To The Discussion Of Scarcity, Without Which Few Of These Issues Would Be Very
Interesting. The Chapter Addresses The Fundamental Concepts Of Scarcity, Choice, And
Opportunity Cost, Illustrating These Ideas With A Production Possibilities Boundary. (It Is
Worth Noting That These Concepts Are Relevant To All Economies, Whether They Are
Organized By Central Planning Or By Free Markets.) We Then Examine The Complexity Of
Modern Market Economies, Examining The Decision Makers, Production, Trade, Money, And
Globalization. Finally, We Examine Different Types Of Economic Systems, Including
Traditional, Command, And Free-Market Systems. We Emphasize That All Actual Economies
Are Mixtures, Containing Elements Of All Three Pure Systems.
Chapter 2 Provides A Longer Introduction To The Methodological Issues Of Economics Than Is
Usually Included In Introductory Texts. We Do This Because Most Students Believe That The Scientific
MethodIs Limited To The Natural Sciences. But To Fully Appreciate Economics, They Must Understand
That Its TheoriesAre Also Open To Empirical Testing And That These Theories Continually Change As
