principles of economics, brief edition

Buy Cheap Principles of Economics, Brief Edition


In recent years, innovative texts in mathematics, science, foreign languages, and other fields have achieved dramatic pedagogical gains by abandoning the traditional encyclopedic approach in favor of attempting to teach a short list of core principles in depth. Two well-respected writers and researchers, Bob Frank and Ben Bernanke, have shown that the less-is-more approach affords similar gains in introductory economics. The authors introduce a coherent short list of core principles and reinforce them by illustrating and applying each in numerous contexts. Students are periodically asked to apply these principles and to answer related questions and exercises.

The BRIEF editions were developed for instructors who appreciate the Frank & Bernanke approach, but desire a more manageable amount of content and slightly less rigor. In the brief editions, the authors made careful choices of material to eliminate and condense, in order to produce of more concise covereage........

consumer economics: the consumer in our society

Buy Cheap Consumer Economics: The Consumer in Our Society


From the Foreword: Consumer Economics: The Consumer in Our Society is a big-picture book providing background that readers need to make important economic decisions in their daily lives. But it also goes beyond the big picture to deal with the essential particulars of these decisions . . . The nitty gritty. It does this with full attention to substance as well as style.--Monroe Friedman, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Eastern Michigan University Consumer Economics: The Consumer in Our Society identifies the social, economic, and political forces that shape consumer demands, and it gives readers a better understanding of themselves as consumers in our society and the world. Readers will learn how the marketplace works to serve consumers, and they will also learn how it can work to disserve and even defraud consumers. This book examines what the government can do and is doing in the field of consumer protection, and it discusses how an individual may become a more mature, better-educated consumer citizen. The fifteenth edition of this classic has been updated to reflect changing times and recent events while maintaining focus on long-term trends and issues; includes new and updated consumer websites; and offers new, more realistic case studies that reflect current concerns--all the while retaining its reader-friendly design and affordability.

The book's significant features include the following:

Key Concepts and Learning Objectives; in each chapter help readers evaluate whether the essence of the material has been understood.

Boldfaced Key Terms, marginal definitions, and a book-end Glossary are there for easy reference.

FYI, Tips, and Q&A are brief capsules of information set apart for reader consideration and discussion.

Case stories are humorous narratives on relevant topics, followed by thought-provoking questions.

The recurring feature There Oughta Be a Law . . . covers key consumer legislation.

Chapter-end Summaries, Review and Discussion Questions, and Exploring Personal Values: Projects help readers in reviewing chapter material........

environmental economics for tree huggers and other skeptics

Buy Cheap Environmental Economics for Tree Huggers and Other Skeptics

Though many students and environmentalists shudder at even the thought of economics, a working knowledge of the basics can be a powerful ally. Economic arguments carry a great deal of weight, and putting them to work for environmental causes can be a deciding factor, especially in policy debates. The reverse is true as well, and an understanding of the possibly flawed, misleading, or overstated economics behind an opponent's case can be crucially important.

Environmental Economics for Tree Huggers and Other Skeptics carefully explains the tools of economic analysis and shows how they can be used to help reveal the root causes of and potential solutions for environmental and natural resource problems. Jaeger's proven techniques and wonderfully conversational tone assume no economics training, and his presentation of the material is designed to facilitate clarity. His step-by-step approach unearths surprisingly simple, easy-to-remember principles and shows how to apply them to real-world environmental problems.

Those with exposure to introductory microeconomics will find Environmental Economics for Tree Huggers and Other Skeptics to be a welcome refresher. Undergraduate and graduate students of environmental studies, resource management, law, policy, and related fields, as well as novices who are skeptical of how the field could possibly help them in their own efforts, will be pleasantly surprised.

economics for real people: an introduction to the austrian school (lvmi)

Buy Cheap Economics for Real People: An Introduction to the Austrian School (LvMI)


This is the second edition of the fun and fascinating guide to the main ideas of the Austrian School of economics: Economics for Real People, written in sparkling prose especially for the non-economist. Gene Callahan shows that good economics isn't about government planning or statistical models. It's about human beings and the choices they make in the real world.

This may be the most important book of its kind since Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. Though written for the beginner, it has been justly praised by scholars too, including Israel Kirzner, Walter Block, and Peter Boettke.

Israel M. Kirzner (New York University): "Even a cursory examination of this book is sufficient to impress the reader that we have here a remarkably well-written exposition for the layman of the highlights of Austrian Economics."

Peter J. Boettke (George Mason University): "Written in a jargon-less and engaging style, Callahan's work provides the most comprehensive introduction to modern Austrian economics currently available to the intelligent layman."

Walter Block (Loyola University, New Orleans): "I don't toss around compliments like this lightly, but the passion, eloquence and sheer witty writing style of this author is also reminiscent of Rothbard. I plan to use it in all of my future intro courses."

Barron's calls Economics for Real People "a terrific new book on economic theory." "If I were teaching an introductory course in economics," writes Gene Epstein (December 2, 2002), "I'd assign Gene Callahan's Economics for Real People: An Introduction to the Austrian School. I also commend it to folks in search of a good read on the joys of economic insight."
