Economic Principles and Problems A Pluralist Introduction

Economic Principles and Problems A Pluralist Introduction

Economic Principles and Problems: A Pluralistic Introduction offers a comprehensive introduction to the major perspectives in modern economics including mainstream and heterodox approaches. Through providing multiple views of markets and how they work it leaves readers better able to understand and analyze the complex behaviors of consumers firms and government officials as well as the likely impact of a variety of economic events and policies. Most principles of economics textbooks cover only mainstream economics ignoring rich heterodox ideas. They also lack material on the great economists including the important ideas of Adam Smith Karl Marx Thorstein Veblen John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek. Mainstream books tend to neglect the kind of historical analysis that is crucial to understanding trends that help us predict the future. Moreover they focus primarily on abstract models more than existing economic realities. This engaging book addresses these inadequacies. Including explicit coverage of mainstream economics and the major heterodox schools of economic thought—institutionalists feminists radical political economists post-Keynesians Austrians and social economists—it allows the reader to choose which ideas they find most compelling in explaining modern economic realities. Written in an engaging style and focused on real-world examples this textbook brings economics to life. Multiple examples of how each economic model works coupled with critical analysis of the assumptions behind them enable students to develop a sophisticated understanding of the material. Digital supplements are also available for students and instructors.

It will also be very helpful for the training of air traffic control officers (ATCOs). The book does not require any prior (specialist) knowledge as it is an introduction to air navigation service provider (ANSP) business. There is very little literature available that gives a detailed appreciation of the complexities potential risks and issues associated with the provision of air navigation services. The role of this book is to fill this significant gap with a comprehensive in-depth study of the management principles related to ANSPs. This is particularly timely given recent ATC developments in Europe USA and New Zealand. Airlines and airports rely on the ANSPs for the management of air traffic. Hence air navigation services (ANS) provision is considered as a core element for air transportation. | Air Traffic Management Principles Performance Markets
