In other words, the standard economics principles textbook is anachronistic, they assume that tastes are exogenous, they overlook interdependencies and externalities not only in production but in consumption of goods, and they overlook the fact that path-dependence is a major hindrance to optimization. Mainstream principles of economics textbooks distort our worldview with immense political and cultural consequences. Students of these principles deserve a more complete perspective, and this brief critiques that conventional worldview and provides an alternative perspective, with an emphasis on free-market economics wherein the human element should be paramount and moral judgments should override market outcomes. In other words, what is important is not GNP as much as the quality of life, not institutions but how people live and fare in them. This brief argues that economics cannot be a science; it has too many ideological aspects, and in many ways conventional textbooks are not providing a true-to-life depiction of the economy. This Brief will be a reference or supplemental text for college and university students enrolled in such applied undergraduate and graduate courses and seminars in economics and economic theory.SpringerBriefs in Economics,2191-5504Economic policyEconomicsEconomic historyEconomic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methodshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000History of Economic Thought/Methodologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W28000Economic policy.Economics.Economic history.Economic Policy.Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods.History of Economic Thought/Methodology.330Komlos Johnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut252711MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910255059603321Principles of Economics for a Post-Meltdown World2235724UNINA
