[edit] Proposed Projects
Got a suggestion for a text or otherwise? Post it here to encourage discussion with the staff regarding your ideas!
-
- TEXT: Basic Economics -or- Economics: an entry level text that is both comprehensive and simple to pick up and read without ANY background in economics. The text could cover both micro and macro and be the essential "go-to" text for anybody who's never been exposed to economics but is curious about the discipline. We would avoid heavy math and complicated models in order to maintain approachability for beginners. The text would be lengthy and, as already mentioned, comprehensive, but each topic would be discussed on a basic level and (hopefully) elaborated on in greater detail and complexity in other, more advanced, texts.
-
- CONSOLIDATION: Principles of Economics and Introduction to Economics: it has been suggested that we merge these two texts. This may be a good idea and could in fact be the start of an intermediate microeconomics text and/or macroeconomics text. Some of the material is basic enough to fit into the Basic Economics book though, so we may want to consider transferring some material to that text as well.
