Economics and All That: From Firms and Industries to Labor, Government and the International Economy
Volume 2 of Economics and All That explains fundamental concepts of economics to both students and members of the lay audience who want to learn more about such things as labor issues, the role of government in economics, and international economy. The title of this book is borrowed from the tongue-in-cheek thousand-year history of England called 1066 and All That, which has been a classic for almost a century.
The book uses humorous examples to help readers understand many of the basic concepts of economics, some of which are:
Price Discrimination
The Law of Diminishing Returns
Monopolies
Oligopolies
Division of Labor
The Labor Theory of Value
The Phillips Curve
Gross Domestic Product
Hyperinflation
Supply Side Economics
Price Controls
Central Planning
Free Trade
The Gold Standard
The Digital Economy
