Résumé

"By including non-neoclassical perspectives and history of thought in the text, the authors have produced a book that is refreshing and intellectually honest." Edward Sayre, Agnes Scott College

Can anything more nearly concern all the members of any society than the way in which the necessaries and comforts of life may best be procured and enjoyed by all? Is there anything in any other study (which does not involve this) that can be compared with it in interest and importance? And yet Political Economy has been less studied than perhaps any other science whatever, and not at all by those whom it most concerns,-the mass of the people. This must be because its nature and its relation to other studies are not understood. It would not else be put away as dull, abstract and disagreeable." Harriet Martineau, 1834

Known for its superb writing style and emphasis on economic history, Economics: A Tool for Critically Understanding Society is the seminal text for one-semester economics. With an intuitive approach to teaching critical thinking, students are asked to use the tools of economics to analyze resonant issues through discussions on race, gender, the environment, and the global economy.
