Blair, I experienced the same "freedom" when I came here and used Bowles and Edwards (Harper Collins) and Stiglitz and had terrible evaluations. I now use Colander (Irwin) mostly with study guide and some supplementary Bowles and Edwards. I've also tried Fusfield (good book but dated and going out of print) (Scott Foresman) and Ridell/Shackelford and Stamos (Addison Wesley) - I haven't seen their new edition. Just thought I's warn you! Ron Baiman Roosevelt U. Chicago
