The Dismal Science. The Worldly Philosophy. The Science of
Scarcity. Most people think economics is one of the most
challenging and complex fields of study. But with this book, it
doesn't have to be! You will learn how the U.S. economy works in
unbiased, easy-to-understand language. And you can learn it without
the complex equations, arcane graphs, and technical jargon you'll
find in most economic texts. David A. Mayer and Melanie E. Fox
explain:
- Why and how we trade
- How the government intervenes in markets
- Unemployment and inflation
- Supply and demand
- Competitive, financial, and foreign exchange markets
- How the economy is measured
You will also learn about the causes and fallout of the recent
recession and how global climate change may transform the way our
economy operates. Most important, with this introduction, you'll
learn how our complex and dynamic economy affects the way we
actually live our lives.
