Descriptions<\/h2>\n

Economics, 3rd Edition, We are all economists, when we work, buy, save, invest, pay taxes, and vote. It repays us many times over to be good <\/em>economists. Economic issues are active in our lives every day. However, when the subject of economics comes up in conversation or on the news, we can find ourselves longing for a more sophisticated understanding of the fundamentals of economics. Economics, 3rd Edition, will help you think about and discuss these and other economic issues that affect you and the nation every day\u2014interest rates, unemployment, personal investing, budget deficits, globalization, and many more\u2014with a greater level of knowledge and sophistication. Designed for those who haven\u2019t already purchased our 2nd Edition economics course, this enlarged and reorganized 3rd Edition includes updated statistics and discussions of more recent events.<\/p>\n

It also features expanded coverage in areas of great public interest, such as anti-trust issues, corporate responsibility, and international financial crashes. These<\/span> lectures<\/span> require no special or advanced knowledge of mathematics. Instead, you will learn economics through intuitive explanations and in plain English, from an instructor who has won teaching awards at Stanford and the University of Minnesota. Professor<\/span> Timothy Taylor\u2019s first 18 lectures focus on \u201cmicroeconomics,\u201d or looking at economics \u201cfrom the bottom up.\u201d You will study the behavior of individuals, households, and firms; and how they interact in markets for goods, labor, and saving and investment.<\/p>\n
