Features: This book is a planned teaching material for higher vocational and technical colleges under the Ministry of Education. It is compiled based on the newly formulated "Basic Requirements for Teaching Western Economics in Higher Vocational and Technical Colleges" by the Ministry of Education. This book has three characteristics:
1. Essential and Sufficient, Reasonably Structured
As a foundational course textbook, it cannot cover all forms of economics. Following the principle of "essential and sufficient," the authors of this book have taken "market-based resource allocation and utilization" as the core content of the course, which includes microeconomics and macroeconomics. In the explanation of theoretical principles, emphasis is placed on the application of principles and policy analysis. Simplification or even exclusion of minor details, theoretical forms, formula derivations, and concept categories with little relevance to the understanding of principles has been implemented.
2. Concise, Practical, and Accessible
The writing principle follows "few but refined content and concise and clear tool application." The use of tools such as graphs, tables, formulas, and mathematical analysis should help students grasp theoretical principles and facilitate their understanding. The textbook and course positioning aim to cultivate practical economic workers. To enable students to master the learned principles, each chapter includes a summary, followed by review questions, exercises, and case analysis questions.
3. Popular, Vivid, and Fluent
Textbooks need to be logical, well-organized, and rigorous, which is primarily reflected in the structural framework. The authors hope this book is not only a teaching tool for instructors but also a "readable economics book" for students and beginners. Therefore, the writing strives to be popular, vivid, clear, fluent, and orderly, with a practical and concise progressive arrangement. At the same time, it aims to reflect the latest trends in the field of economics. This book is a foundational course textbook specifically written for higher vocational, technical, and adult education majors in economic management. It can also serve as an introductory or self-help reading for beginners in economics.
