A Critical Thinker's Guide to Microeconomics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Present economics as an objective science free from value judgements; that settles disputes by testing hypotheses; that applies a pre-determined body of principles; and contains policy prescriptions supported by a consensus of professional opinion. It shows how real economics is much more interesting than most economists are willing to let on.
