bullet Table of contents
 
bullet Preface
bulletThe New World of Economics, 6th edition, with Gordon Tullock (Springer, forthcoming in late 2011).  (This book, a forerunner to many current trade books concerned with the “economics of any and everything,”  was very successful through its first five editions and five foreign language editions.  This new edition of The New World will involve a major makeover for the new generation of young economists who may now be unfamiliar with the earlier editions.)
 
bulletThe Care and Feeding of Liberals (under development with completion expected toward the end of 2012).  (In this book I will take on the major arguments against the market system and for an expanded economic role for government that have been repeatedly and erroneoupressed I submit) by left-of-center academics, pundits, politicians, and journalists.

Video Project

bulletMicroeconomics for Managers: An Online Video Course.  (Under development with completion expected by the end of June, 2011).  This project will involve my translating my successful microeconomics for MBAs course that I have taught for two decades at the Merage Business School, UC-Irvine to forty to fifty thirty-minute lectures that will be available online through subscription.  The lectures will be designed to work well with my textbook co-authored with Dwight Lee, Microeconomics for MBAs: The Economic Way of Thinking for Managers (Cambridge, 2010), as well as other widely adopted microeconomics textbooks.
