The perspective.
Wheelan's accessible style makes the book useful for building vocabulary before tackling more formal texts. Read each example by identifying the actors, incentives, constraints, and desired outcomes. The aim is to become better at asking economic questions rather than to collect a single definitive answer to every policy disagreement.
