“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."
–Facundo Albornoz-Crespo, University of Birmingham

“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.”
–Brandon Dupont, Western Washington University
