Features: Economics is a fundamental discipline. It is not only a foundational subject for economics majors but should also be a foundational discipline for the entire social sciences. This is because the market economy has its own operational methods and inherent laws. Without understanding and familiarity with these operational methods and inherent laws, it is impossible to meet the practical needs of the market economy for talent. Moreover, new research trends indicate that economics can not only study the relationship between human material production and exchange but can also be used to analyze all human behavior and its effects. For example, the recent rise in the economic analysis of law is a case in point. Therefore, basic knowledge of the market economy has become an essential part of the knowledge structure for modern individuals, making economics one of the foundational content areas in higher education. To this end, the Ministry of Education has required that universities and colleges offer "Market Economics" as a compulsory public course for non-economics and non-management majors. This book is a textbook designed for the "Market Economics" compulsory public course offered to non-economics and non-management majors in universities and colleges, covering both microeconomics and macroeconomics. It is suitable for use by students in both humanities and science disciplines and can also serve as a reference for economics professionals.
