The Principles of Economics from Now until Then.
Bell, Carolyn Shaw
Journal of Economic Education, v19 n2 p133-47 Spr 1988
Examining economics textbooks, Bell states that today's texts descend from Samuelson's "Economics" published in 1948. States that the closed economy model used to present aggregate analysis has become irrelevant. Argues that introductory textbooks should develop a student understanding of the interdependent world economy as well as standard economic measures and their methodology. (GEA)
