Economics: Principles and Applications

by Marc Lieberman, Marc Lieberman

This text provides a lean and lively introduction to basic ideas of economics with a sound level of theoretical rigor. In a 29-chapter format, it has been carefully crafted in terms of both content and supporting pedagogy to keep students focused on learning and applying the central ideas used in economic analysis. Its objective is to be a study "tool" for students and a complement to, rather than a substitute for, the instructor, departing from the "encyclopedic" approach taken by most other texts. Pedagogy and applications are designed to maintain a focus on the fundamentals and allow flexibility for instructors to bring in additional material as they choose. In-text Internet links and a dedicated Web site provide opportunities and exercises for students to access and analyze additional real-world economic applications. Also available in micro and macro softcover split versions.

About the author

Marc Lieberman is a national winner of the Moeller Prize for excellence in Journalism and initially self-published an earlier version of his book entitled The Translator, which was a 2007-2008 finalist of the Indie Awards and Best Books, USA Book News. Marc and his wife Cindy divide their time between their log cabin in Durango, Colorado and an adobe near Carefree, Arizona. Sign of the Anasazi features numerous encounters with bears, perhaps because as a teenager, Marc and his brother Richard had a pet black bear while living on a remote lake deep in the Canadian wilderness. Marc successfully scaled Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, 2007, and was a crewmember with the LaSalle Expedition II, an authentic re-enactment over the course of nearly a year of LaSalle’s 1681 3,300-mile canoe trek from Montreal to the Gulf of Mexico. He has motorcycled the Baja 500 and dove with sharks in the Caribbean, and climbed to Machu Pichu.
