This page intentionally left blank Intermediate Microeconomics A Modern Approach Eighth Edition W. W. Norton Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton first published lec- tures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its program beyond the In- stitute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By mid-century, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program—trade books and college texts—were firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family trans- ferred control of the company to its employees, and today—with a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles pub- lished each year—W. W. Norton Company stands as the largest and oldest publishing house owned wholly by its employees. c Copyright 2010, 2006, 2003, 1999, 1996, 1993, 1990, 1987 by Hal R.
