剑桥出身的大经济学家帕萨·达斯古普塔教授,历时七年打磨出这本经济学通俗小读物,笔调生动,例证浅显,读来妙趣横生。

内容简介

Here Partha Dasgupta, an internationally recognized authority in economics, presents readers with a solid introduction to its basic concepts, including efficiency, equity, sustainability, dynamic equilibrium, property rights, markets, and public goods. Throughout, he highlights the relevance of economics to everyday life, providing a very human exploration of a technical subject. Dasgupta covers enduring issues such as population growth, the environment, and poverty. For example, he explores how the world's looming population problems affect us at the local, national, and international level.

Economics has the capacity to offer us deep insights into some of the most formidable problems of life. Here, Dasgupta goes beyond the basics to show it's innate effects on our history, culture, and lifestyles.

    一个地球,两个世界

    全书用身处两个世界(生活在美国中西部的贝基和生活在埃塞俄比亚西南部的黛丝塔)的女孩的生活环境着眼,详细的描述了两种环境的经济社会原理,而且从经济学的角度更深层次地剖析了这两种生活环境天差地别的原因,内容丰富,语言简洁易懂,是一本非常好的经济学入门书籍,值得推荐。
