PREFACE

I
t can be argued that, from the point of view of the general welfare, there are two topics
of primary importance in economics. One is the analysis of recessions and depres-
sions, with the unemployment and general impoverishment they bring. The second
is economic growth and rising productivity, which, in the long run, is the way to reduce
poverty in our country and throughout the world.
In earlier editions of this book, before the problems stemming from the recent, ter-
rible worldwide economic crisis claimed the spotlight, the new materials that we added
focused more on the growth issue. We discussed, for example, the microeconomic roles
of innovation and entrepreneurship, offering far more material on these issues than any
other textbook in the field.
Then, for two editions, the biggest changes came in the macroeconomic portions of
the book, especially the parts relevant to understanding the financial crisis and the Great
Recession of 2007–2009. Those changes remain in this thirteenth edition—including the
abandonment, almost unique among principles books, of pretending that there is only
one interest rate (“the interest rate”). Instead, we explain and discuss the implications of
having many different interest rates, based on differential risk.
As usual, this revision includes literally hundreds of small changes to improve clarity
of exposition and especially to update the text material—both for relevant advances in
economics and for recent events, particularly the aftermath of the Great Recession—which
continues to play out day by day.

NOTE TO THE STUDENT

May we offer a suggestion for success in your economics course? Unlike some of the other
subjects you may be studying, economics is cumulative: Each week’s lesson builds on
what you have learned prior to that. You will save yourself a lot of frustration—and a lot
of work—by keeping up on a week-to-week basis.
To assist you in doing so, we provide a chapter summary, a list of important terms and
concepts, a selection of questions to help you review the contents of each chapter, as well
as the answers to odd-numbered Test Yourself questions. Making use of these learning
aids will help you to master the material in your economics course. For additional assis-
tance, we have prepared student supplements to help in the reinforcement of the concepts
in this book and provide opportunities for practice and feedback.
The following list indicates the ancillary materials and learning tools that have been
designed specifically to be helpful to you. If you believe any of these resources could
benefit you in your course of study, you may want to discuss them with your instructor.
Further information on these resources is available at www.cengagebrain.com.
To access additional course materials and companion resources, please visit
www.cengagebrain.com. At the CengageBrain.com home page, search for the ISBN of
your title (from the back cover of your book) using the search box at the top of the page.
This will take you to the product page where free companion resources can be found.
We hope our book is helpful to you in your study of economics and welcome your com-
ments or suggestions for improving student experience with economics. Please write to
us in care of Baumol and Blinder, Editor for Economics, Cengage Learning, 5191 Natorp
Boulevard, Mason, Ohio, 45040, or through the book’s website at www.cengagebrain.com.

Preface xvii

MindTap
MindTap is a personalized teaching experience with relevant assignments that guide
students to analyze, apply, and improve thinking, allowing you to measure skills and
outcomes with ease.
• Personalized Teaching: Becomes yours with a Learning Path that is built with key
student objectives. Control what students see and when they see it. Use it as-is
or match to your syllabus exactly—hide, rearrange, add, and create your own
content.
• Guide Students: A unique learning path of relevant readings, multimedia, and
activities that move students up the learning taxonomy from basic knowledge
and comprehension to analysis and application.
• Promote Better Outcomes: Empower instructors and motivate students with ana-
lytics and reports that provide a snapshot of class progress, time in course, and
engagement and completion rates.

Aplia
Aplia saves instructors valuable time they would otherwise spend on routine grading
while giving students an easy way to stay on top of coursework with regularly scheduled
assignments. Currently, Aplia supports college-level courses and has been used by more
than 1,000,000 students at over 1,300 institutions. Aplia’s economics students use interac-
tive chapter assignments, tutorials, news analyses, and experiments to make economics
relevant and engaging. Math and graphing tutorials help students overcome deficiencies
in these crucial areas. Economics articles from top news sources challenge students to
connect current events to course concepts.
End of Chapter and traditional homework problem sets allow students to work through
the economic concepts they have learned in each chapter. Students can choose to "Grade It
Now” on a homework problem and will receive instant feedback whether an answer is cor-
rect or incorrect. Students can then choose to complete another problem to test themselves
on the same concept with randomization. Aplia End of Chapter will also be mobile enabled.

IN GRATITUDE
Finally, we are pleased to acknowledge our mounting indebtedness to the many people
who have generously helped us in our efforts through the history of this book. We often
have needed assistance in dealing with some of the many subjects that an introductory
textbook must cover. Our friends and colleagues Dean Alderucci, New York University;

Obviously, the book you hold in your hands was not produced by us alone. In revising
the thirteenth edition, a special role was played by Baumol’s in-office editor, Anne Noyes
Saini, who skillfully edited, researched, and refreshed data and information throughout
the book. It is probably true that Baumol could not have done it without her.
We also appreciate the contribution of the staff at Cengage Learning, including
Michael Worls, Product Manager; Michael Parthenakis, Senior Product Manager; John
Carey, Senior Marketing Manager; Jennifer E. Thomas, Product Development Manager;
Leah G. Wuchnick, Associate Content Developer; Colleen A. Farmer, Senior Content
Project Manager; Sarah Blasco, Media Developer; Michelle Kunkler, Senior Art Director;
Jennifer Nonenmacher, Intellectual Property Analyst; and Kevin Kluck, Manufacturing
Planner. It was a pleasure to work with them, and we appreciate their understanding
of our approaches, our goals, and our idiosyncrasies. We also thank our intelligent and
delightful assistants at Princeton University and New York University, Kathleen Hurley
and Janeece Roderick Lewis, who struggled successfully with the myriad of tasks
involved in completing the manuscript.
And, finally, we must acknowledge—with joy—our continuing debt to our wives,
Hilda Baumol and Madeline Blinder. They have now suffered through 13 editions and the
inescapable neglect and distraction the preparation of each new edition imposes. Their
tolerance and understanding have been no minor contribution to the project.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

William J. Baumol
William J. Baumol was born in New York City and received his BSS at the College of the City of
New York and his Ph.D. at the University of London.
He is the Harold Price Professor of Entrepreneurship Emeritus at New York University,
where he taught a course in introductory microeconomics, and the Joseph Douglas Green, 1895,
Professor of Economics Emeritus and Senior Economist at Princeton University. He has been
a frequent consultant to the management of major firms in a wide variety of industries in the
United States and other countries as well as to a number of governmental agencies. In several
fields, including the telecommunications and electric utility industries, current regulatory policy
is influenced by his explicit recommendations. Among his many contributions to economics are
research on the theory of the firm, the contestability of markets, the economics of the arts and
other services—the “cost disease of the services” is often referred to as “Baumol’s disease”—
and economic growth, entrepreneurship, and innovation. In addition to economics, he taught a
course in wood sculpture at Princeton for about 20 years and is an accomplished painter (you
may view some of his paintings at http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~wbaumol).
Professor Baumol has been president of the American Economic Association and three other
professional societies. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, created by
the U.S. Congress, and of the American Philosophical Society, founded by Benjamin Franklin.
He is also on the board of trustees of the National Council on Economic Education and is the
recipient of 11 honorary degrees.
Baumol is the author of hundreds of journal and newspaper articles and more than 45 books,
including Global Trade and Conflicting National Interests (2000); The Free-Market Innovation Machine
(2002); Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism (2007); The Microtheory of Innovative Entrepreneurship
(2010); and The Cost Disease (2012). His writings have been translated into more than a dozen
languages.

Alan S. Blinder
Alan S. Blinder was born in New York City and attended Princeton University, where one of
his teachers was William Baumol. After earning a master’s degree at the London School of
Economics and a Ph.D. at MIT, Blinder returned to Princeton, where he has taught since 1971,
including teaching introductory macroeconomics since 1977. He is currently the Gordon S.
Rentschler Memorial Professor of Economics and Public Affairs.
In January 1993, Blinder went to Washington as part of President Bill Clinton’s first Council
of Economic Advisers. Then, from June 1994 through January 1996, he served as vice chairman
of the Federal Reserve Board. He thus played some role in formulating both fiscal and monetary
policies, two topics discussed extensively in this book. He has also advised several presidential
campaigns and numerous politicians.
Blinder has consulted for a number of the world’s largest financial institutions, testified dozens
of times before congressional committees, and been involved in several entrepreneurial start-ups.
For many years, he has written newspaper and magazine articles on economic policy, including
regular columns for the Boston Globe, BusinessWeek, and The New York Times. Currently, he has a
regular monthly column in The Wall Street Journal. Blinder also appears frequently on PBS, CNBC,
Bloomberg TV, Fox Business, and elsewhere. His recent book on the financial crisis (After the
Music Stopped, Penguin, 2013) garnered many accolades and was a New York Times best-seller.
