Comment on Evan's comment about teaching: I am just being "forced" back into teaching some micro in a one-semester "Business Environment" course in our college's MBA program. We've got to give them about 5 weeks of micro. Our approach is to use the policy orientation of Shepard's _Public Policies Towards Business_ (this is the slimmed down version of Clair Wilcox's _Public Control of Business_ text which was used everywhere I suppose in the 1950s and early 1960s!!) to "teach" micro .... we end up showing how price-discrimination works, how regulation supposedly plays an important role, etc. etc. -- Mike Meeropol Economics Department Cultures Past and Present Program Western New England College Springfield, Massachusetts "Don't blame us, we voted for George McGovern!"
