Dear Pen-lers, In case anyone else is interested, I wanted to share the results of my search for a current edition of Robert Carson's _Economic Issues Today_. First, thanks to Michael Hoover for sending me the title and other useful information about the book. This book, at the moment, is stuck in an unfortunate limbo. The 6th edition is "forthcoming" but with absolutely no notion of when it may be out. Meanwhile the 5th edition is dated (1991) and out of print in any case. Bummer. If any knows of other intro-level "issues" books that do a comparably good job of radical/liberal/conservative views on micro and macro issues, I -- and perhaps others -- would be grateful to know. Thanks. Rob Garnett
