Economics and All That: Volume 1: Markets, Money, and Finance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956450408)

Volume I of Economics and All That explains fundamental concepts of economics to both students and members of the lay audience who want to learn more about such things as markets and money and banks and finance.

Supply and Demand

Conspicuous Consumption

The Invisible Hand

Paradox of Value

Pareto Efficiency

Moral Hazard

Game Theory and the Prisoner's Dilemma

Normal and Inferior Goods

Giffen Goods
