* Integration of readings from the major works within their problem solving context, thus facilitating reference to source material

* Each part ends with a summary and questions to discuss, along with glossaries and suggestions for further reading
The book provides a valuable aid to the study of economic thought and encourages students to examine the relevance to contemporary theory. This text has established itself as one of the foremost guides to understanding and relating the study of economic analysis.
