Course Texts:

This course will use two principal texts:

   

 

I strongly recommend that you purchase these texts, since we will be using them on a regular basis.

 

You may also find it useful to consult:

 

  • Richard L. Epstein and Carolyn Kernberger, The Guide to Critical Thinking in Economics, 2005

 

In addition, we will use a variety of other materials, which are noted in the course reading list.  These materials are available either on the course blackboard site (under Course Documents) or on reserve in Simpson Library.

 

If you are not satisfied with the previous texts, you might want to check out any of the following on-line ones:

·        Robert Schenk, CyberEconomics: A Semi-Interactive, Almost-Multimedia Way to Learn Economics, 1999

·        Roger McCain, Essential Principles of Economics: A Hypermedia Text , 1999

·        Beth Ingram, Principles of Macroeconomics (audio lectures with Powerpoint slides), 1997

·        Orley Amos, A Pedestrian's Guide to the Economy, 1997

Scott Simkin’s list of on-line Student Resources for economics could also be useful.

 

NOTE: This course contains a lot of new and difficult material. If you do not understand something, please ask me to explain it.  That is my job.
