N2  - "The book is about some issues of our time. In it we attempt to show what economics can contribute to the analysis of and to possible solutions to these issues. No a priori knowledge of economics is necessary for understanding the articles. The reader is warned that in no case is our treatment of a topi exhaustive. We have merely attempted to expose the bare economic bones of some aspects of the issues treated." -- From the Preface
