Notes Economic Thinking on the Road (or Thereabouts) -- Economic Signals -- Labor Issues -- Information and Misinformation -- The Things We Value -- Contest and Conflict in Society -- More on Politics and Policy -- Restricting the Marketplace -- Bringing It All Back Home
In a series of conversational essays, this textbook discusses the manner in which economic thought addresses a broad array of everyday issues beyond classical textbook treatments. In the spirit of popular economics books, the author uncovers economic issues and solutions from individuals, businesses, society, and the country as a whole in a decidedly non-technical and relatable manner. Should the federal government mandate use of child safety seats on commercial airlines? Can genetic information substitute for a college degree? The contents of this book touch on many of these contemporary topics in an accessible way. Addressing undergraduate and graduate students, as well as scholars in different fields of economics, this book is a must-read for everybody interested in a better understanding of economic thought. “Shane Sanders discusses a broad array of everyday economic stories in short, relatable, and, most importantly, non-technical manner. A piecemeal approach to understanding economics is the strength of this book and this is what makes the book accessible and interesting to both economists and non-economists equally.” Shankar Ghimire, Assistant Professor of Economics, Western Illinois University, USA
