DESCRIPTION:
Edward Mariyani-Squire said Heterodox enough. This book does exactly what the above "Book Description" says it does so there is no need to give a summary description here.Because this book takes a "broader" approach (which here means that it incorporates insights from non-neoclassical schools of thought and other disciplines), it necessarily gives a bit less attention to the "mechanics" of some basic neoclassical tools (viz. details about and permutations of graphical representations of models).This is not to say it doesn't deal pretty fairly with the dominant. mainstream econ and it's critique (from a broader perspective) I found a descriptive review of this book on the AdBusters-dot-org website[]Flipping through your introductory text, you discover that it's not made up of countless variations of curves intersecting. Prose that celebrates perfectly competitive though non-existent markets seems to be in short supply. Economic heresies - "other goals may sometimes outweigh the goal of maximizing production" and "wealth itself is not well-being" - are committed left and right. After 18 years, the economics department has finally switc. Excellent This book does an excellent job providing an heterodox view of microeconomic theory. It provides insights from economists outside of the neoclassical model (many Nobel Prize winners), giving a more complete and realistic picture of how economics works. It is also clearly written with excellent examples and clear quantitative analysis.
The text builds upon the strengths of standard, neoclassical economics, but takes into account environmental, institutional, political, psychological, ethical, and social issues often neglected in other introductory Principles textbooks. Microeconomics in Context provides a thorough introduction to the principles of microeconomics, updated and broadened to reflect the economic realities of the 21st century. The authors introduce students to the standard topics and tools taught in most introductory courses, and to a broader and richer set of topics and tools.
