Customer Reviews

The best college textbook on economic theory there is.

What is this arrogant social science named economics? Read this and find out; the answer is not at all what politicians, journalists, and lay people think it is. EE & A is admittedly one of the most difficult of the many undergrad texts in economic theory. But it is also unusually well written because Diane Eaton is a professional writer and editor. EE & A also nicely marries two distinct contrasting traditions in economic theory: mathematical microeconomics (Curtis Eaton), and applied price theory (Doug Allen). The authors never lose sight that economics is rightly about human questions and problems, and not about a showy display of elementary mathematics applied to the material side of human life. That this text is not better known is evidence of the shabby state of many USA undergraduate courses.
