Synopsis

An update of the quick and easy guide to learning the principles of economics Between the daily barrage of economic indicators and the constant fluctuation of everything from interest rates to inflation, a solid grounding in the basics of economics has only become more vital. This updated introduction to the subject provides exactly that. A clearly written guide to basic micro-and macroeconomic principles, it adheres to the tested STG format of building an understanding of concepts and reinforcing that knowledge throughout. Fully updated to include current economic ideas and terms, it provides a useful review of the mathematics and graphic analysis needed for economic problem solving. Exercises throughout each chapter test the reader on the material as it is presented, and a final self-test at the end of the text sums up the material covered. Steve Slavin, PhD (Brooklyn, NY), is the author of several economics and math college textbooks and consumer guides. He is also the author of the bestselling All the Math You'll Ever Need and Math for Your First and Second Grader. Slavin teaches economics at Union County College in Cranford, NJ.
