Intermediate Microeconomics is an approachable yet rigorous textbook that covers the entire scope of traditional microeconomic theory and includes two mathematical approaches, allowing instructors to teach the material with or without calculus. With real-world policy topics as an entree into each subject, Intermediate Microeconomics will help students engage with the material and facilitate learning not only the concepts, but their importance and application as well.9472021-01-11T18:35:58Z2024-01-22T14:52:19ZPrinciples of Macroeconomics for AP® Courses 2e<img alt="Read more about Principles of Macroeconomics for AP® Courses 2e" title="Principles of Macroeconomics for AP® Courses 2e cover image" class="cover " width="387" height="499" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTkzMiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--8d8fa33ae8833ebc25b87602255a9c749bade418/41YAM74p3aL._SX385_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" />Principles of Macroeconomics for AP® Courses 2e covers the scope and sequence requirements for an Advanced Placement® macroeconomics course and is listed on the College Board’s AP® example textbook list. The second edition includes many current examples and recent data from FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data), which are presented in a politically equitable way. The outcome is a balanced approach to the theory and application of economics concepts. The second edition was developed with significant feedback from current users. In nearly all chapters, it follows the same basic structure of the first edition. General descriptions of the edits are provided in the preface, and a chapter-by-chapter transition guide is available for instructors.8162020-03-14T22:31:15Z2024-01-22T14:52:06ZPrinciples of Macroeconomics - 2020-A<img alt="Read more about Principles of Macroeconomics - 2020-A" title="Principles of Macroeconomics - 2020-A cover image" class="cover " width="612" height="792" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mjc5MCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--fad830f436ac1aa681755c151c5e192892b90ac0/Lyryx_Principles%20of%20Macroeconomics_2021A.png" />Principles of Macroeconomics is an adaptation of the textbook, Macroeconomics: Theory, Markets, and Policy by D. Curtis and I. Irvine, and presents a complete and concise examination of introductory macroeconomics theory and policy suitable for a first introductory course. Examples are domestic and international in their subject matter and are of the modern era — financial markets, monetary and fiscal policies aimed at inflation and debt control, globalization and the importance of trade flows in economic structure, and concerns about slow growth and the risk of deflation, are included. This textbook is intended for a one-semester course, and can be used in a two-semester sequence with the companion textbook, Principles of Microeconomics. The three introductory chapters are common to both textbooks.8152020-03-14T22:09:27Z2024-01-22T14:52:06ZPrinciples of Microeconomics<img alt="Read more about Principles of Microeconomics" title="Principles of Microeconomics cover image" class="cover " width="612" height="792" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mjc4OSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--088842e30a4f89c1255b1752b068940b68f48565/Lyryx_Principles%20of%20Microeconomics_2021A.png" />Principles of Microeconomics is an adaptation of the textbook, Microeconomics: Markets, Methods, and Models by D. Curtis and I. Irvine, which provides concise yet complete coverage of introductory microeconomic theory, application and policy in a Canadian and global environment. This adaptation employs methods that use equations sparingly and do not utilize calculus. The key issues in most chapters are analyzed by introducing a numerical example or case study at the outset. Students are introduced immediately to the practice of taking a data set, examining it numerically, plotting it, and again analyzing the material in that form. The end-of-chapter problems involve numerical and graphical analysis, and a small number of problems in each chapter involve solving simple linear equations (intersecting straight lines). However, a sufficient number of questions is provided for the student to test understanding of the material without working through that subset of questions. This textbook is intended for a one-semester course, and can be used in a two-semester sequence with the companion textbook, Principles of Macroeconomics. The three introductory chapters are common to both textbooks.7392019-06-29T17:42:03Z2024-01-22T14:52:07ZPrinciples of Political Economy - Third Edition<img alt="Read more about Principles of Political Economy - Third Edition" title="Principles of Political Economy - Third Edition cover image" class="cover " width="533" height="604" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzEwLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--950b93c93d4aa4e8ddcc6e975f122b94ef807b8e/Textbook%20Cover%202.jpg" />This textbook is unique among economics textbooks. It contains many of the same topics as mainstream textbooks, but it includes and takes very seriously heterodox critiques and alternatives to the mainstream approach to economics. It includes a whole range of alternative theories, including Post-Keynesian, Austrian, Marxian, radical, feminist, institutionalist, and other approaches. The purpose is to teach students about alternative schools of economic thought but also to deepen their understanding of the dominant, neoclassical approach to economics. In this sense, it draws a great deal of inspiration from Richard Wolff and Stephen Resnick’s Contending Economic Theories. Following Wolff and Resnick, an even broader objective is to teach students that economics is a discourse and that no single voice can rightfully claim to have a monopoly on the truth about economics.6852019-03-14T19:26:45Z2024-01-22T14:52:19ZPrinciples of Microeconomics: Scarcity and Social Provisioning<img alt="Read more about Principles of Microeconomics: Scarcity and Social Provisioning" title="Principles of Microeconomics: Scarcity and Social Provisioning cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjMxLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--367807d040e056702a33e1db96841dafdc980b53/0000ScaSocPro.jpg" />Principles of Microeconomics: Scarcity and Social Provisioning takes a pluralistic approach to the standard topics of an introductory microeconomics course. The text builds on the chiefly neoclassical material of the OpenStax Principles of Economics text, adding extensive content from heterodox economic thought. Emphasizing the importance of pluralism and critical thinking, the text presents the method and theory of neoclassical economics alongside critiques thereof and heterodox alternatives in both method and theory. This approach is taken from the outset of the text, where contrasting definitions of economics are discussed in the context of the various ways in which neoclassical and heterodox economists study the subject. The same approach–of theory and method, critique, and alternative theory theory and method–is taken in the study of consumption, production, and market exchange, as well as in the applied theory chapters. Historical and contemporary examples are given throughout, and both theory and application are presented with a balanced approach. This textbook will be of interest especially to instructors and students who wish to go beyond the traditional approach to the fundamentals of microeconomic theory, and explore the wider spectrum of economic thought. Instructors may contact Open Oregon Educational Resources for quiz question test banks associated with each chapter.5462018-09-07T17:22:09Z2024-01-22T14:51:58ZBoundless Economics<img alt="Read more about Boundless Economics" title="Boundless Economics cover image" class="cover " width="1148" height="870" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDcwLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--38231c9cbe2950b7a620c5e8e25865fb67201d3c/0000BoundEcon.png" />This catalog contains educational content originally curated by Boundless.

How do we develop policies that offer everyone the best chance to achieve what they want from life? The capability approach, a theoretical framework pioneered by the philosopher and economist Amartya Sen in the 1980s, has become an increasingly influential way to think about these issues. Wellbeing, Freedom and Social Justice: The Capability Approach Re-Examined is both an introduction to the capability approach and a thorough evaluation of the challenges and disputes that have engrossed the scholars who have developed it. Ingrid Robeyns offers her own illuminating and rigorously interdisciplinary interpretation, arguing that by appreciating the distinction between the general capability approach and more specific capability theories or applications we can create a powerful and flexible tool for use in a variety of academic disciplines and fields of policymaking. This book provides an original and comprehensive account that will appeal to scholars of the capability approach, new readers looking for an interdisciplinary introduction, and those interested in theories of justice, human rights, basic needs, and the human development approach.5392018-09-07T17:22:08Z2024-01-22T14:51:57ZAn Introduction to Cooperation and Mutualism<img alt="Read more about An Introduction to Cooperation and Mutualism" title="An Introduction to Cooperation and Mutualism cover image" class="cover " width="1098" height="1456" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDY0LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--10c4481ee1c1a07269c90baa003ac0b1d7ea3b11/9781946135384.png" />This textbook introduces readers to the idea of cooperation and mutualism. Cooperatives and mutuals are participatory organizations in which members participate in control and governance, receive economic benefits through patronage refunds or net income, and become owners through equity. These mutual-benefit organizations exist alongside non-profit organizations and investor-benefit organizations through the global economy.4612018-09-07T17:22:03Z2024-03-05T23:42:44ZIntroduction to Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies" title="Introduction to Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies cover image" class="cover " width="692" height="1049" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mzg5LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--602ce1c608cc7356896abcc987bd0e66f62f006c/9781945764028.png" />This textbook introduces key feminist concepts and analytical frameworks used in the interdisciplinary Women, Gender, Sexualities field. It unpacks the social construction of knowledge and categories of difference, processes and structures of power and inequality, with a focus on gendered labor in the global economy, and the historical development of feminist social movements. The book emphasizes feminist sociological approaches to analyzing structures of power, drawing heavily from empirical feminist research.
