At its heart, economics is the science of choice and a study of economic principles allows us to achieve a more informed understanding of how we make our choices; regardless of whether these choices occur in our everyday life or in our work environment. The present text represents a common sense approach to basic microeconomics. It is directed toward all students, but particularly those within business school settings including students beginning an advanced business degree course of study. It will deliver clear statements of essential economic principles, supported by easy to understand examples, and uncluttered by extraneous material; the goal being to provide a concise readable primer that covers the substance of microeconomic theory. The text will look at the efficient operation of competitive markets and what may cause those markets to fail; the benefits from trade; profit maximization; the consequences of choice; and the implications of imperfect competition.2013 digital library.Economics collection.2163-7628MicroeconomicsElectronic books.comparative advantageopportunity costdemand and supplyequilibriumelasticitymarginal benefitconsumer surplusproducer surpluseconomic efficiencyprofit maximizationperfect competitionmarket failuresmonopolyimperfect competitionMicroeconomics.338.5Beveridge Thomas M766575MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910525705203321A primer on microeconomics2751050UNINA03008nam 2200601 450 991078914280332120200903223051.090-04-25431-510.1163/9789004254312(CKB)3710000000078101(EBL)1579997(SSID)ssj0001081678(PQKBManifestationID)11568368(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001081678(PQKBWorkID)11090631(PQKB)10510845(MiAaPQ)EBC1579997(nllekb)BRILL9789004254312(Au-PeEL)EBL1579997(CaPaEBR)ebr10819072(CaONFJC)MIL551406(OCoLC)899278449(PPN)178907294(EXLCZ)99371000000007810120140102d2014 uy 0engurun####uuuuatxtccrConvict labor in the Portuguese empire, 1740-1932 redefining the empire with forced labor and new imperialism /by Timothy J.

In Convict Labor in the Portuguese Empire , Timothy J. Coates examines the role of large numbers of convicts in Portuguese Africa from 1800 until 1932. This work examines the numbers, rationale, and realities of convict labor (largely) in Angola during this period, but Mozambique is a secondary area, as well as late colonial times in Brazil. This is a unique, first study of an experiment in convict labor in Africa directed by a European power; it will be welcomed by scholars of Africa and New Imperialism, as well as those interested in law and labor.European expansion and indigenous response ;v. 13.Convict laborPortugalColoniesHistoryPortugalColoniesEmigration and immigrationHistoryConvict laborColoniesHistory.331.11/73Coates Timothy J.1952-1548347MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789142803321Convict labor in the Portuguese empire, 1740-19323848790UNINA
