Foundations of Microeconomics

by Robin Bade

For courses in Economics.

 

Guide students through the economic principles that will influence their financial decisions

Foundations of Microeconomics, 8th Edition introduces students to the economic principles they can use to navigate the financial decisions of their futures. Each chapter concentrates on a manageable number of ideas, usually 3 to 4, with each reinforced several times throughout the text. This patient approach helps guide students through unfamiliar terrain and focus them on the most important concepts.

 

The text does four core things to help students grasp and apply economic principles: it motivates with compelling issues and questions, focuses on core ideas, offers concise points, and encourages learning with activities and practice questions. After completing this text, students will have the foundational knowledge of how the economy works and can apply it to their lives going forward.

[John C. Duff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall the book is very informative and structured in a way to maintain interest by reducing reader fatigue. Definitely worth the read. My only criticism - hence the three star rating - is the lack of background information so commonly provided in elementary texts of most disciplines. Most intro classes I've attended are accompanied by texts containing historical roots and contending schools of thought. This textbook, however, presents the most prominent theory as if it's the only theory.

Τέλειο βιβλίο Εκλαικευμένης μικροοικονομικής, είναι κατάλληλο και για άτομα που δεν έχουν διαβάσει ούτε ΑΟΘ.
