About this product
Discover the ins and outs of the economy with this engaging, informative, and easy-to-navigate 2nd edition guide with all-new entries and updates.
Too often, textbooks turn the noteworthy details of economics into tedious discourse that would put even Joseph Stiglitz to sleep. This new edition of Economics 101 cuts out the boring explanations and instead provides a hands-on lesson that keeps you engaged as you explore how societies allocate their resources for maximum benefit.
From quantitative easing to marginal utility, this primer is packed with hundreds of entertaining tidbits and concepts that you won’t be able to get anywhere else. You’ll learn the basics on terms such as monopolies and oligopolies, game theory, inflation, price ceilings, and so much more. Have you ever wondered about the origin of banking or how banks create money? This book has all the answers.
Whether you’re looking to master major principles of finance or just want to learn more about why money matters, Economics 101 has all the answers—even the ones you didn’t know you were looking for. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon and Goodreads indicate this book is generally well received, with ratings around 4 stars and multiple readers calling it a helpful beginner-friendly introduction to economics. Google Play review snippets also suggest readers found it informative and easy to follow. A Target listing for the same title shows at least one verified buyer describing it as helpful for beginners. Review chatter appears to focus on clarity and accessibility rather than deep technical coverage, which fits the book’s introductory positioning.
On YouTube, search results surfaced at least one video clearly about the book, including an Economics 101 title from Alfred Mill and another economics-related video that appears to be a general class review rather than a product review. Because the available results did not provide two clearly product-specific watch pages tied to review or unboxing content, only one reliable video was identified for extraction.
