经济学有能力为我们提供对生活中一些最可怕的问题的深刻洞察,并为它们提供解决方案。Partha Dasgupta将全球方法与日常生活中的例子相结合,描述了两个在世界不同地区过着截然不同生活的儿童的生活:在美国中西部和在埃塞俄比亚。他比较了他们面临的障碍,以及塑造他们生活、家庭和未来的过程。他展示了经济学如何发现这些过程,为它们找到解释,以及它如何形成政策和解决方案。在此过程中,Dasgupta提供了对关键经济因素和概念的智能和易懂的介绍,如个人选择、国家政策、效率、公平、发展、可持续发展、动态平衡、产权、市场和公共产品。关于该系列:牛津大学出版社出版的非常简短的导论系列包含了几乎每个主题领域的数百本书。这些袖珍书籍是快速掌握一门新学科的绝佳方式。我们的专家作者将事实、分析、视角、新想法和热情结合在一起,使有趣和具有挑战性的主题具有高度可读性。
Economics has the capacity to offer us deep insights into some of the most formidable problems of life, and offer solutions to them too. Combining a global approach with examples from everyday life, Partha Dasgupta describes the lives of two children who live very different lives in different parts of the world: in the Mid-West USA and in Ethiopia. He compares the obstacles facing them, and the processes that shape their lives, their families, and their futures. He shows how economics uncovers these processes, finds explanations for them, and how it forms policies and solutions. Along the way, Dasgupta provides an intelligent and accessible introduction to key economic factors and concepts such as individual choices, national policies, efficiency, equity, development, sustainability, dynamic equilibrium, property rights, markets, and public goods.
