Summary:

This revision of a best-selling book continues to analyze and explain economic systems using standard supply, demand, and cost analysis, along with property rights.

Since the first edition appeared in 1990, much of the world has been going through one of history's great economic upheavals, in which state-managed economies of the Soviet type are transforming themselves into market-based systems. Coverage in this second edition reflects these changes with an all-new chapter on transitional economies. All graphs, tables, and other statistical data have also been updated, and a new appendix to chapter one develops the notion of common property to analyze problems of resource depletion and environmental degradation

Contents:

v. 1. Market and state in economic systems

v. 2. Transition and capitalist alternatives.
