"Harold Winter's engaging volume is a great starting point for introducing students to the economic approach to policy issues. Where other disciplines see absolutes, economics sees trade-offs. And, as Winter shows, the guidance economics provides as to what these trade-offs are and what balance we should strike is often surprising. Trade-Offs illustrates the broad range of economic reasoning with a wealth of case studies that runs the gamut from auto safety to organ transplants. This book will get students excited about learning economics." - W. Kip Viscusi, Harvard Law School"
