Synopsis

Clear, beginner‑friendly economics from a trusted classic. This introduction explains what economics is and how it fits among the social sciences, with a focus on how people get and use wealth in a society.

Economics is presented as a practical, teachable guide to the wealth‑getting and wealth‑using parts of human life. The book outlines fundamental ideas, shows how economic life connects with money, production, exchange, and government, and frames the subject for teachers and students alike. It also includes aims, scope, and notes on using the material effectively in class.

• Foundational ideas about what economics studies and why it matters to everyday life


• How money functions as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, a standard of deferred payments, and a store of value


• Introduction to production, distribution, and trade, including early history and the evolution of economic thought


• Guidance on how to approach the material in a classroom setting, with appendixes and study aids

Ideal for readers beginning a study of economics or seeking a historically informed overview of the subject.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Here, as in many another question of choice, Pope srule may well apply: Be not the first by whom the new is tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. In the main, therefore, and so far as the authors have been able, they have presented the outlines of theory in the form in which they are to-day most generally accepted by economists, leaving for later and advanced study the conflicting assumptions and arguments and points of view of economists who may be paving the way for the most acceptable text-book of a coming decade. An examination of the book will show that scattered passages, amounting in the aggregate to many pages, have been printed solid, i.e. without the interlinear spaces regularly used. Such are the passages which, either from their greater difficulty or from their subsidiary character, may best be omitted by a teacher pressed for time. Moreover, for classes in which the time limits are too narrow to permit careful study of the whole text, it may be found expedient to omit Book IV, on Public Finance.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
