内容概要

This is the Asian adaptation of N. Gregory Mankiw s market
leading textbook Principles of Economics. While maintaining all the
strengths of the original book, Professor Euston Quah and Dr. Peter
Wilson have provided materials and examples that are most relevant
to students in Asia. The book reflects Asian economic institutions
and policy, features companies that operate in the region, and
includes economic data from various Asian countries.
The text provides Asian students with a solid introduction to
the principles and concepts of economics. It retains a strong
international focus to enable students to place the Asian
experience in a global context. Written for students taking
economics for the first time, the book focuses on the core concepts
and how these concepts are applied to the real world. Examples and
cases throughout the text show students the relevance of the theory
they are learning.
