内容説明

Explaining to the layperson what contemporary economics is about, this book starts on the assumption that most economics is just refined common sense, and explains the key ideas associated with each issue. All the main topics of academic economics are considered: the theory of individual choice, the labour market, the competition between firms, international trade, economic growth, the stock market, unemployment and money. The general principles are sketched first without maths or diagrams, and then discussed in the context of topical problems such as the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, the lack of development in Third-World countries, the contrast between market forces and the protection of the environment, showing how economics is not necessarily a dry academic pursuit. This book also contains an annotated list of books and articles, broken down by chapters, which will guide the reader into a deeper understanding of the issues involved. John Hartwick has also written "The Economics of Natural Resource Use".
