Edition Description
Revised edition
Synopsis
In its fourth edition, Economics Explained continues its announced purpose--to explain that mysterious thing called economics--with a new urgency. It is announced in the first sentence of the introduction: "Just in case the reader-to-be hasn't noticed, disturbing things are going on in the American economy these days." This new edition is about these disturbing things: a trend toward inequality of incomes, the appearance of a new "globalized" capitalism, the "specter" of inflation. As before, Robert Heilbroner and Lester Thurow treat these problems in language that seeks to make clear their causes and treatments. In this straightforward, highly accessible reference, Heilbroner and Thurow -- two of America's most respected and articulate economists -- offer all the economics essential for becoming an effective investor, a savvy business decision maker, or simply an informed member of society., Containing about 30 percent new material, this edition of ECONOMICS EXPLAINED offers readers not only an invaluable primer on economic theory, but a clear understanding of the causes and treatments of the problems confronting us today, as well as the possible risks and the potential rewards we face in the future. Previous Edition ISBN: 0671884220, This updated edition of the definitive introduction to economics addresses urgent topical issues, including the increasing inequality in the distribution of income, the impact of the "globalisation" of capitalism, and the far-reaching effects of the new technologies.
