Description and Table of Contents
Description
The text is designed primarily for a one semester survey course in general economics. It has also been successfully used in M.B.A. economics courses and in Master's courses in economic education.
The Economic Way of Thinking develops the basic principles of micro- and macroeconomic analysis, and rigorously employs them as tools rather than ends unto themselves. This text introduces students to a method of reasoning; to think like an economist. It teaches students through example and application. It even teaches by showing students how not to think, by exposing them to the errors implicit in much popular reasoning about economic events.
