This book is written in an accessible manner and is intended for a wide audience with little or no formal training in economics. It should also interest economists who want to reflect on the direction of the discipline and to learn concepts and achievements in other subfields. The author imparts his enthusiasm for the economic way of reasoning and its wide applicability. Through the abundant use of illustrations and examples, the author makes concepts understandable and relevant. Topics covered include game theory, the new institutional economics, market failures, asymmetric information, endogenous growth theory, general equilibrium, rational expectations, and others. 606 $aEconomics$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial sciences$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory 615 0$aSocial sciences$xHistory 676 $a330 700 $aSandler$b Todd$088938 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449692003321 996 $aEconomic concepts for the social sciences$945416 997 $aUNINA
