Microeconomic Principles and Problems offers a comprehensive
introduction to all major perspectives in modern microeconomics,
including mainstream and heterodox approaches. By providing
multiple views of markets and how they work, readers will be better
able to understand and analyze the complex behaviors of consumers,
firms, and government officials, as well as the likely impact of a
variety of economic events and policies. Most principles textbooks
cover only mainstream economics and neglect the rich contextual
analysis of heterodox economists. Heterodox material is presented
as complementary to mainstream economics: understanding both
approaches yields the deepest level of understanding. The book
covers standard models, and includes substantial coverage of
existing economic realities, featuring case studies and descriptive
data. The book includes some coverage of all major heterodox
schools of thought. This second edition incorporates new and
expanded material on international trade (including disintegration
and Brexit), climate issues and perspectives including degrowth,
inter-temporal exchanges and games, non-market exchanges, trends in
job opportunities, the rising cost of education, the gig economy,
social media as an industry, and updated examples and cases. The
book’s suite of digital resources has also been revised to ensure
examples and activities are relevant to each part of the book.
Written in an engaging style focused on real-world examples, this
groundbreaking book brings economics to life. It offers the most
contemporary and complete package for any pluralist microeconomics
class.
Introduces concepts and ideas from mainstream economics as well as
the full range of heterodox approaches to provide a truly
pluralistic introduction to economics. Includes insights from
recent developments including behavioural economics and game theory
and focuses on the major economic issues of today to provide a

Schumpeter, John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek to ensure that

fully understand contemporary economics. The website is complete

In order to fully understand the evolution and future growth of
economic systems, we must draw on the lessons of economic history.
The 2008 Financial Crisis, for example, mirrored past economic
meltdowns with uncanny accuracy. Just like the Great Depression of
the 1930s and the Savings and Loan Crisis of the 1980s, it featured
deregulated lenders taking incredible risks with other people's
money. Historical analysis is crucial to understanding trends and
patterns that can help us predict the future. This text presents a
ground-breaking, pluralistic introduction to economic history and
the history of economic thought. Tracing the development of
economic systems and economic thought, the text introduces students
to the story from ancient times to contemporary capitalism, and
also its critics. Focusing in particular on Smith, Marx, Veblen,
and Keynes, the text encourages students to consider which ideas
and systems are still relevant in the modern world. This book can
be used as a standalone text for relevant classes or as a
supplement in any principles course.
