Download or read book Smart Economics written by Michael Walden and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-08-30 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Budget deficits, gas prices, health care costs, social security, job security.... Anxiety over the economy pervades our daily lives—from reports on the early morning newscasts to gossip around the water cooler to dinner table debate. Yet most citizens are woefully ignorant when it comes to understanding how the economy works and how to interpret the impact of policies and business decisions. It's easy to slip into generalities: government spending is wasteful, taxes are too high, good-paying jobs are being shipped overseas, Americans don't save enough. Other issues become hijacked by political partisans to advance their agendas: trade must be fair!, tax cuts will pay for themselves!, there will be no money left in the social security till after the baby boomers loot it! In Smart Economics, Michael Walden provides an antidote: take 50 of today's top economic issues and explain their meaning, implications, and potential solutions in a logical, straightforward, commonsense, and non-partisan way. Has Government Spending Been Out of Control? Is Profit Bad? Walden applies basic economic concepts and logical argumentation to help readers get their bearings—to separate fact from fiction and ultimately make better economic decisions themselves. The result is an entertaining and highly informative introduction to economic principles and their influence on our behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: QUICK WIN ECONOMICS is aimed at practical people who understand that economics is important, because economic models inform the most powerful people in the world, who make decisions based on the advice of economists. Those decisions affect the daily lives of millions of people, for better and for worse. The mistakes of economists can have serious consequences. It pays to know what they are talking about. QUICK WIN ECONOMICS will help you decode economic phenomena - for example, you'll find out exactly why a change in central bank lending rates will change your mortgage, making you richer, or poorer; why Big Macs don't cost the same in every country; and how economists would deal with pollution. QUICK WIN ECONOMICS is designed to let you dip in and out as you'd like, looking for answers to questions you might have, or just for a place to start to understand the theory. Each entry is tagged by one of five subject areas: Economics Essentials; Micro-economics; Macro-economics; Economic Policy; Applied Economics. You also can use the grid system in the contents section to search for questions and answers across a range of topics or use the thread of cross-references provided at the end of each Q&A.

Download or read book The Economic Naturalist written by Robert H. Frank and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do the keypads on drive-up cash machines have Braille dots? Why are round-trip fares from Orlando to Kansas City higher than those from Kansas City to Orlando? For decades, Robert Frank has been asking his economics students to pose and answer questions like these as a way of learning how economic principles operate in the real world-which they do everywhere, all the time. Once you learn to think like an economist, all kinds of puzzling observations start to make sense. Drive-up ATM keypads have Braille dots because it's cheaper to make the same machine for both drive-up and walk-up locations. Travelers from Kansas City to Orlando pay less because they are usually price-sensitive tourists with many choices of destination, whereas travelers originating from Orlando typically choose Kansas City for specific family or business reasons. The Economic Naturalist employs basic economic principles to answer scores of intriguing questions from everyday life, and, along the way, introduces key ideas such as the cost-benefit principle, the “no cash on the table” principle, and the law of one price. This is as delightful and painless a way to learn fundamental economics as there is.
