Economics

Departing from the encyclopedic nature of most Principles texts, which encourages students to simply memorize concepts & see economics as a collection of unrelated terms, formulas, graphs, & theories, this text provides students with a picture of economics as a unified discipline; a set of interrelated tools & ideas that can be used to look at the world in a different way. This book's concise, less is more approach has been carefully crafted in terms of both content & supporting pedagogy to keep students focused on learning & applying the central ideas used in economic analysis. It uniquely employs a simple methodology throughout to emulate how economists look at problems, & teaches students how to use this same analytical process in developing their own economic analysis skills. Hall/Lieberman's careful focus on core theoretical ideas as well as systematically applying the theoretical tools to interesting real-world questions conveys the message that economics is an integrated, powerful body of knowledge that can be used to address important issues.Hall, Robert is the author of 'Economics' with ISBN 9780324072815 and ISBN 0324072813.
