Economics

by Michael Parkin

Economics touches almost every aspect of life, from climate change to terrorism, taxes to house prices, wages, to how much time to spend studying. Thinking like an economist will enable you to evaluate economic policies, understand human behaviour, and make more informed decisions. This comprehensive text provides detailed presentation of the principles of economics, using real-world examples and applications. The aftermath of the global financial crisis is covered in depth, and its implications for future economic policy are thoroughly examined.

Anmeldelse for Mathe

Det en bog om økonomi, hvilket jeg ikke er interesseret i men jeg skulle læse den pga. et fag på uni. Den var okay til dens formål, men føler ikke den gjorde økonomi mere interessant. 3 stjerner, vil nok ikke læse igen.

A decently laid out introductory micro- and macroeconomics textbook that's easy to read and understand, for the most part. I can't really compare it to other text books, since it is the first one I have used on the subject. Suffice it to say, however, that it includes the same inane generalizations about markets being perfectly competitive that is probably common to most introductory texts, and (as expected) it lacks reference to its ideological assumptions and presents economic models for faithful digestion without backing them up with any evidence whatsoever. I would rate it 'ok', save that this edition includes one-year accessibility to the online MyEconLab service, which is pretty useful for study/revision with its quizzes and study plans.

This book is very underrated. It has clear explanations, and lots of appendixes that are both interesting and useful. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about economics for the first time.

i consider i was so lucky that parkin economics was the first economic book to read . the writer has avery simple language , so clear meanings and super ability of persuasion , moreover the book is strongly supported by recently updated examples and highly designed graphs .in past i hated just listening about this branch of science but now after reading this book i aspire for more reading in more specialized economic books . as abeginner in this branch i think the book give me more than what i expected .
