Located in the Mid-Miami River valley of southwestern Ohio, Middletown was perfectly situated by five major railway lines and a canal, enabling it to play a leading role in the steel industry that flourished throughout much of the 20th century. This book recounts one hundred years of steel-making in Middletown, and defines the cooperative alliance between the city and the American Rolling Mill Company, which employed roughly half of the workers in the metropolitan area at its peak. George M. Verity incorporated his then-small company in Middletown on December 27, 1899. It rapidly grew into the country’s largest employer, and was the first in the country to set up a separate research division. This foresight led to many improvements within the industry, and also resulted in the development of the first continuous rolling mill in 1924, considered by many to be one of the ten greatest industrial inventions of the 20th century. The relationship between the steel industry and the workers in Middletown was so harmonious that in 1958, the city earned the national award of an “All-America City.”

Uno de los sucesos económicos más importantes de finales del siglo es, sin duda, el derrumbe de las economías centralmente planificadas. Por eso, la teoría económica presentada en esta obra es la que muchas personas están dispuestas a aprender, sobre todo porque se estudia el capitalismo en su estadio más actual, caracterizado por un mercado global, descentralizado, que exige mucha planeación, como ocurría en las economías socialistas, pero en este caso tal planificación la llevan a cabo diferentes instituciones. Esta situación ha hecho que día con día tanto individuos como familias y empresas recurran al estudio de la microeconomía, pues en ocasioness las decisiones macroeconómicas, que son las que planean instituciones supranacionales, parecen rebasadas. En este sentido, los casos y problemas que se exponen en esta obra explican al estudiante o al lector interesado como funcionan y se relacionan los distintos agentes económicos para converger en el proceso microeconómico más importante: la toma de decisiones económicas por parte de individuos y empresas. El autor analiza temas clásicos de la economía, como la oferta y la demanda, los mercados,los factores productivos, la pobreza, y los enmarca en el contexto microeconómico, es decir, en lo que concierne a individuos y empresas, aunque no descuida el hecho de que estos aspectos microeconómicos tienen íntima relación con los macroeconómicos, por lo que dedica una de las cuatro partes del libro al análisis de la economía internacional. El estudiante de economía encontrará en esta obra todos los elementos necesarios para entender los temas más relevantes de la microeconomía, a la vez que aprenderá a aplicarlos mediante los problemas que se plantean y los cargos que se exponen en cada uno de los capítulos.
