This principles of economics text is the most exciting new entry in years. Written by two well-known and well-respected economists,Bob Frank and Ben Bernanke,the text seeks to teach introductory students the core economic concepts—the essence of economics—without overwhelming them with details. Principles of Economics presents the material in an intuitive way that avoids excessive math. The authors introduce a well-articulated short list of core principles,reinforce them by illustrating and applying each principle in several contexts,and then ask students to work exercises to see what they've learned. .
