Economics And Economic Change

by Paul Anand

A new generation of introductory Economics courses is emerging. These courses are now teaching economic principles using a heterodox view point – encouraging learners to see how economics is interdisciplinary and help them reflect more on the real-world issues. Dawson’s Economics and Economic Change is the first introductory textbook to match this new way of thinking. The authors really encourage critical debate and social and ethical reflection, which are key to this approach. The book takes a problem-based learning approach, focusing on contemporary economic issues, which is ideal for students starting out - helping them to connect economics to their way of thinking.

The technology theme is rather lame and the book is a decade out of date, but it is does seem to guide you through basic microeconomics (which is probably largely nonsense) surprisingly coherently.

Didn't seem as coherent as the microeconomics textbook, although perhaps that might be a comment on the differences between microeconomics and macroeconomics more than anything else.
