Microeconomics

by Campbell R. McConnell, Stanley L. Brue

McConnell and Brue's Microeconomics: Principles, Problems, and Policies is the leading Principles of Economics textbook because it is innovative and teaches students in a clear, unbiased way. The 17th Edition builds upon the tradition of leadership by sticking to 3 main goals: help the beginning student master the principles essential for understanding the economizing problem, specific economic issues, and the policy alternatives; help the student understand and apply the economic perspective and reason accurately and objectively about economic matters; and promote a lasting student interest in economics and the economy.

I really did not think this book was very helpful in the full scheme of my understanding of Microeconomics. It did help me with understanding the views currently held by the status quo, but the book failed in many other aspects; especially in the area of epistemology.

Perhaps what irks me the most about this book is that my school — a Christian school — chose this particular book for the course, when there are so many other better choices out there. I hardly used this book when having to write papers or when contributing to discussion boards. Instead, I referred to the following: Foundations of Economics: A Christian View by Shawn Ritenour, Foundations Of The Market Price System by Milton M. Shapiro, Human Action by Ludwig von Mises, and even Dissent On Keynes: A Critical Appraisal of Keynesian Economics (multiple authors). I only used this book to pass tests and quizzes.

Now, I'm not knocking my professor, but I do believe he could have made a better, and even more affordable choice. This book was expensive considering the information it provided which could have been Googled or found in much more affordable alternatives.

All in all, I hated this book and hope and pray that my professor will no longer consider this approach to economics. My hope is that in the future he will seek to understand the compatibility of Austrian Economics with the Christian faith over against the alternative, faux capitalist and State-interventionist approaches.

Here's my other book that I'm reading. Yep, I am going to win the most boring bookshelf in this whole website award.
You are curious to read this book? What is wrong with you!?!
No, this book is very educational, helpful and well written.

It promised to teach me the basics of microeconomics, and I suppose it did just that.

I liked the first 2 chapters :) Didn't read past about the 6th. Too busy with other subjects at the moment, and when I get back to this, I think I'll try a different book, but it was okay.

...it pays to expand you...though the final was a tad too expansive for my tastes...

*praise hands* I'm done with this book.

It was pretty good in explaining the different aspects of micro. I definitely learned some things. Just glad to be finished with it.

Veritatis fugit minima. Ut quaerat consequatur et iure sint maxime sed. Omnis alias corrupti laudantium totam tempore debitis perspiciatis.
