A complete introduction to economics and the economy taught in undergraduate economics and masters courses in public policy. CORE's approach to teaching economics is student-centred and motivated by real-world problems and real-world data.
The only introductory economics text to equip students to address today's pressing problems by mastering the conceptual and quantitative tools of contemporary economics.
THE ECONOMY:
- is a new approach that integrates recent developments in economics including contract theory, strategic interaction, behavioural economics, and financial instability;
- challenges students to address inequality, climate change, economic instability, wealth creation and innovation, and other problems;
- provides a unified treatment of micro- and macroeconomics;
- motivates all models and concepts by evidence and real-world applications.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"A brilliant way to introduce students to economics: it combines state-of-the-art economic theory with a big-picture perspective on modern development." - Nikolaus Wolf, Humboldt University of Berlin
"The best innovation in economic education that I have seen in my career. A smorgasbord of ideas that refresh our old concepts, moving our standard discourse from dismal to light, from a dehumanized science to a spirited vision of the world." - Christian Gollier, Toulouse School of Economics
"The text takes a refreshing new approach to giving students their first encounter with economics, with lots of data and intuitive interesting examples, but without sacrificing the key ingredients of the distinctive way economists look at the world." - Stephen Wright, Birkbeck College
