“This well-written, clearly organized book presents a nontechnical, overarching view of economic theory and how it gets applied and interpreted” (Choice Reviews, June 2009)
"I wish I had read a book of this kind when I started studying
economics. It is more than an introduction to economics--it
is an introduction to economic thinking."

“This book is classic Mayer—reasonable,
knowledgeable, and humble.”
–David Colander, Middlebury College
"This book will give readers insight into the way economic
theory applies to important social issues in the world
today."
–John Hayfron, Western Washington
University
“Mayer’s work is a timely discussion of behavioral
economics and other movements within the field. His comments on the
subprime mortgage crisis in particular provide the book with an
up-to-date flavor.”
