Economics: Themes and Perspectives

by G.B.J. Atkinson

Second Edition.The core of the principles course has been around for more than 100 years, and other important elements, especially part of the theory of the firm and Keynesian macro-economics, have been with us for more than 50 years. But economics has also been developing and changing rapidly during the past few decades. All principles texts pay some attention to these more recent developments, but none has succeeded in integrating the new and traditional. My goal has been to incorporate new ideas-game theory, the modern theory of the firm, information, and public choice-into the body of timeless principles.

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.

*Actually read "Economics for Management", an adaptation of this book (9th edition) compiled by Anindita Chakrabarti and Fazil Acar for Leeds University Business School students

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 .
