你一定非常想知道：通货膨胀到底是怎么来的？ 为什么中国要购买那么多的美国国债？ 扭转恶化的经济状况是该花钱，还是存钱？ 为什么有些国家很富有，而另外一些国家却很穷？ 席卷全球的经济危机又是怎么发生的？ 如何对经济领域的各种现象进行专业而又生动的分析，是一项艰巨的任务。如何让从9岁到90岁的读者都能通过一本书洞悉日常生活现象背后的经济规律，更是一项几乎不可能完成的任务。《小岛经济学》就是这样一本书，它通过插图、幽默的措辞以及讲故事的平实手法，将经济学从高不可攀的架子上取下来，放回到厨房的餐桌上。它本就该属于那个地方。 这个关于鱼、渔网、存钱、借钱的故事揭示了经济是如何运行的，映射出当今经济体制与政策暗藏的漏洞。希夫兄弟以机智幽默的手法阐释了经济增长的根源，贸易、储蓄及风险三者的重要性，滞胀的根源，利率的影响，政府的刺激机制、消费信贷的破坏性本质等问题。这些问题经常被讨论，却常常被误解。对于那些想走出误区，理解经济学基本理论与常识的读者，这本书会带来惊喜。

“制高点”是普利策纪实文学奖得主丹尼尔.耶尔金教授的一部财经巨著，被西方媒体誉为我们这个时代经济制度的编年史，对包括中国在内的世界各国的经济改革都具有极高的指导意义。“制高点”通过对大量历史人物和历史事件的生动叙述为我们绘制了一幅从政府到市场演变过程的全景图。 20世纪80年代是全球改革的年代，在西方，撒切尔和里根以激进变革的方式结束了英美国家对市场严格管制，政府撤出了管理经济的制高点，从此，以竞争和开放的自由市场经济体制主导西方主流的经济学家的制高点。在东方，邓小平所推行的渐进式经济改革创造性把社会主义和市场经济的概念结合起来，探寻政府和市场的边界，平稳的在全球经济一体化的过程中，为中国造就了21世纪的经济奇迹。一个世纪，人们一直争论究竟哪种经济模式让人类真正受益是市场还是政府主导？目前 ，许多力量正推动着从国家控制到市场控制的转变。然而，从根本上说，这种转变还需要信仰和观念的重塑拋弃传统的对国家的信仰，走向对市场更大的信心。 为您讲述一个世纪来政府和市场纠葛的故事，讲述思想进化斗争的故事，以及其中的历史风云人物传奇。

With their long working hours, cultural obsession with work, and high-stakes schooling system, South Koreans live life in the fast lane. Everyone has the same aim: to be successful and to beat the competition. Thanks in part to this hard work ethic, South Korea has become one of the most powerful world economies. Today, South Korea is the most connected country on the planet. It has transformed itself into a laboratory of the future. Tablets have replaced books in schools, robots stand in as babysitters and video game champions are worshipped like Gods. In Seoul, even one’s physical appearance is part of the criteria for success: many women have plastic surgery and men inject botox into their vocal chords to make their voices deeper. But today, these extremes seem to have reached their limits. Though the economic indicators may look good, South Koreans are experiencing growing unemployment. South Korea also holds a saddening record: their suicide rate. Around 40 people commit suicide every day in the country. Many victims are those who are excluded and marginalised from the Korean economy, particularly older people, as well as those who live in slums, with barely enough to eat.

"Public Finance 8/E" benefits from the combined efforts of Harvey Rosen's market-leading book and new co-author Ted Gayer's research and government agency experience. Ted recently served as a Senior Economist on the President's Council of Economic Advisors and is currently a member of the EPA's Science Advisory Board. Additionally, Rosen served on the President's Council of Economics Advisers, 2003-2005, as a member and chairman. As a result, the 8th edition maintains the strengths of previous editions but is enhanced with new material and current examples from public finance literature and the policy world. It includes substantive changes that reflect the progress that has been made in the field of public finance. These changes may be divided into three categories: new organization, new material, and new pedagogical features. As with previous editions, the book continues to draw upon the latest research while never losing sight of the reality it is supposed to describe, always drawing the links between economic analysis and current political issues.

This second edition of Microeconomics is filled with learning-by-doing problems that   give students a chance to make economics their own. These fully worked-out problems provide a step-by-step road map to help students solve numerical problems. Each problem correlates to similar practice problems at the end of each chapter. In addition, the authors include many extensive real-world examples in the text. These examples are contemporary applications of the theory and are longer and more extensive to show the evolution of the example. Each chapter opens with an example to draw readers into the topic.
