Economics: A Tool for Critically Understanding Society (9th Edition) (Pearson Series in Economics) Equally as Boring as Its Predecessor - Amazon Lurker - U.S.A.
Maybe I’m a little biased since I didn’t quite enjoy the introduction course to Macroeconomics, but I decided to buy the newer edition hoping that the updated information on the new policies such as the Obama Stimulus Package and TARP would be an interesting read. However, as expected from most of these textbook publishers the change from edition to edition was very minute.
The book includes both micro and macro, but we only used the second half of the book. Reading each chapter was a bit of a pain since the book drags on and complicates some simple concepts. Ultimately the book itself, besides using it to reference it a few times for definitions and charts/graphs was not very useful or stimulating. I’m sure most people who do get this book are forced to for a course though.
: Economics: A Tool for Critically Understanding Society, 9/e, offers a clear, simple introduction to economic analysis in a style that is ideal for a one-semester introductory course. The authors take a historical perspective, presenting economic theories and their connections to a wide variety of schools of thought. The goal is to help students use economic concepts to analyze today’s issues, to think about everyday decisions, and to examine their preconceived ideas and beliefs.
