Features: Among the vast array of economics textbooks and works, it is rare to find one that comprehensively and accurately explains economic principles without requiring advanced mathematical background. Currently, many introductory economics textbooks either sacrifice rigor for simplicity, making it difficult for some readers to grasp the essence of the principles, or prioritize rigor at the expense of readability, using complex mathematical knowledge that hinders students from non-economics majors. This book strives to be both in-depth and accessible, catering to a broad range of teaching audiences. It is not only suitable for introductory courses for economics majors but also serves as a user-friendly foundational textbook for non-economics majors studying economic principles. The book is divided into two main parts: microeconomics and macroeconomics, covering most key points of economics. In microeconomics, for each concept, vivid charts are used for explanation, along with numerous examples from daily life to illustrate the principles. In macroeconomics, it not only elaborates on the main views of various economic schools of thought with vivid descriptions but also analyzes and comments on macroeconomic conditions and policies, making economic principles more relatable to real-world situations.
