Features: This book is the current best-selling and most widely adopted economics textbook by Pearson Education, the world's largest educational publishing group. It is recognized by domestic and international experts as one of the four best economics textbooks. It is renowned for its comprehensive system, thorough content, rigorous logic, and detailed explanations. It is hailed as the most suitable textbook for classroom teaching and also the one that best aligns with the teaching thinking habits of Chinese educators. "A picture is worth a thousand words." Professor Parkin further develops Samuelson's method of teaching economics, using nearly a thousand colorful illustrations to vividly and clearly demonstrate the core principles of economics and real-world economic issues. The guiding philosophy of this book is student-centered, focusing on helping learners develop "economic thinking methods"; understand how a market economy works, and deeply reflect on how to make the economy operate better. Nobel laureate in Economics and founder of the rational expectations school, Professor Lucas, frankly admits through the author in this book: "Economics is a great major—it is the foundation for learning almost everything else well." The book comprehensively reflects the latest developments in economic theory and practice, such as dynamic comparative advantage, game theory, modern corporate theory, public choice theory, rational expectations, new growth theory, and real business cycle theory, all of which are explained in detail.
