Invitation to Economics empowers the reader to spot naive and spurious economic arguments by inculcating an intuitive ‘feel’ for economics.

  • A unique and critical guide to understanding economic arguments in the media
  • Focuses on microeconomics, specifically on the idea that economic policies often have important indirect effects
  • Key ideas are applied repeatedly in numerous case studies drawn from newspapers and other media
  • Economic principles are presented in an accessible and non-rigorous format using case studies
  • Incorporates the value judgments and political judgments that underlie economic policies
