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
