I’m offering a scarce first-printing copy of Microeconomic Principles in Action by Robert L. Moore and James D. Whitney, published by Prentice Hall in 1990. Rather than presenting microeconomics only through conventional textbook exposition, Moore and Whitney assembled real newspaper and magazine articles and used them to demonstrate economic principles in actual situations. The selections are paired with questions and explanatory material designed to expose analytical errors and make the underlying economics clear. Topics include scarcity and opportunity cost, supply and demand, elasticity, competitive supply, imperfect competition, monopoly, resource markets, externalities and market failures. The articles tackle real-world subjects ranging from minimum wages and airline pricing to education, medical labor markets, pollution and traffic congestion. This is the original 1990 Prentice Hall edition, ISBN 0-13-582420-6. The copyright page carries the complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 number line, confirming a first printing. This is an uncommon economics title with very limited current secondary-market availability. It has additional interest as a snapshot of how economics was taught through contemporary journalism and real-world case material at the beginning of the 1990s. The paperback has visible rubbing and handling wear to the black front cover, along with ordinary edge and corner wear. The binding remains together and the interior pages are clean and readable.
