"Microeconomics" provides a contemporary, comprehensive and clear coverage of intermediate microeconomics within a European context. The text aims to ensure effective understanding of the essential principles and is as a result unique in its patient and careful coverage of the core microeconomics topics, (including, for example, the analysis of consumer demand, the cost of production and the pricing of products under different forms of industrial organization). "Microeconomics" brings theory to life with its many pan-European examples and extended applications. The extended applications include VAT on domestic energy, energy conservation, land use restrictions in European agriculture, monopsony, and minimum wages laws. Highlighted examples include retirement pensions, pricing strategy at Euro-Disney, and health care costs across Europe.

From its beginning in 1939, the Window Shop of Cambridge, Massachusetts, provided a safe harbor for hundreds of German and Austrian refugees who fled from Hitler to America. It was founded by concerned Cambridge residents who were guided only by their desire to help the refugees. Together they created a non-profit enterprise that was unparalleled in its success and influence."By the time the Window Shop moved to 56 Brattle Street in 1947, it had become a favorite haunt for the diverse community of European intellectuals who fled to Cambridge, such as architect Walter Gropius. The continental food and atmosphere provided a welcome link to their past. 'It makes people feel at home to find here in Cambridge goodies they had in their childhood,' Alice Broch told the Christian Science Monitor in 1955."-The Boston Globe, Jan. 4, 1995"I shall never be at a loss where to take one of my grandchildren for a delightful meal if I find myself in Cambridge So many happy faces greeted me there-these women who had been in concentration camps or had spent long years waiting to find themselves able to begin life again in a new country, and now actually at work helping their husbands or their children to start again. You are glad you live in an America which can be a land of hope."-Eleanor Roosevelt, My Day, May 30, 1950

This monograph includes the findings of a 1985 survey of current and former members of Congress and their spouses regarding the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. Framers of the Act, in requiring financial disclosures by the families of members, attempted to maintain sensitivity to a spouse's need for privacy or a separate career. Their intent was to create a system that would permit disclosure of relevant finances, yet one that would allow some personal privacy. It examines what members and their spouses believe their rights and responsibilities under the Act are, what they think about financial disclosure in general, and what, if anything, can be done to improve the current system.

Political action committees (PACs) are a major source of campaign funds, and the amount of money they inject into the political system has grown to huge proportions. In the 1986 election cycle, PACs contributed over $132 million to House and Senate campaignsóa 966 percent increase from 1974. The unprecedented sums spent in the 1986 Congressional campaign created a momentum toward reforms to stem the flow of money, particularly special interest money, in Congressional races. Although a number of scholarly studies on PACs exist, PAC officials have had little opportunity to be heard. Based on 50 interviews with PAC officials, this book addresses that need.

This study contains detailed briefing papers prepared by 16 representatives and senators, based on a series of informal discussion groups organized by the Center for Responsive Politics. The discussion groups were formed around four topics of particular interest to members: the reality of money, the use of members' time, the budget and legislative process, and the public's understanding of Congress. The discussions were based on a revealing survey of Congress, which polled 114 members of the House and Senate and 115 key staffers on their views of Congress, its chief strengths and weaknesses. The members describe their problems, such as too much time spent on fund raising for future campaigns, too little time to think and confer with their aides and colleagues, and too little home life. They attempt to outline workable solutions that will increase the effectiveness of Congress.
