Economics, Concise Edition [with InfoTrac]

by Roger A. Arnold

Roger Arnold’s ESSENTIALS OF ECONOMICS distills the core concepts of economics into a concise text that is reader-friendly, yet still complete in its coverage of topics. With a focus on real world examples and applications, Arnold conveys the impact of economic analysis on everyday life, insightfully explaining the economics of why Lebron James isn’t in college, drug busts, and how spring break affects surrounding communities. Taking a more concise approach than some traditional principles of Economics texts, ESSENTIALS OF ECONOMICS continues to provide solid coverage of macroeconomic and microeconomic fundamentals. Thorough coverage of AD/AS, money & banking and monetary and fiscal policy, expectations theory, market structures and market failures gives students all the background necessary to either continue their studies in economics, or simply gain a new perspective on events around the world and in their lives through the versatile lens of economics.
