The cartoon introduction to economics volume 1 microeconomics pdf

The topic is so critical that everyone, from students to policy-makers to voters, needs a quick and easy guide to the basics. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change entertains as it educates, delivering a unique and enjoyable presentation of mind-blowing facts and critical concepts.

If those subjects sound daunting, consider that Bauman and Klein have already written two enormously successful cartoon guides to economics, making this notoriously dismal science accessible to countless readers. Bauman has a PhD in economics and has taught at both the high school and college level, but he now makes a living performing at comedy clubs, universities, and conferences, sharing the stage with personalities as diverse as Robin Williams and Paul Krugman.

The authors know how to get a laugh-and they know their facts. If economics can be funny, then climate science can be a riot. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change takes the intimidation and gloom out of one of the most complex and hotly debated challenges of our time.

Employing an irresistible cast of dragon-riding Vikings, lizard-throwing giants, and feuding aliens, the renowned illustrator Grady Klein and the award-winning statistician Alan Dabney teach you how to collect reliable data, make confident statements based on limited information, and judge the usefulness of polls and the other numbers that you're bombarded with every day.

I kinda got it, but I think I was a little bit tired of microeconomics at that point. Confession: I skimmed the scant few math equations sprinkled throughout the book. They made my heart race.

So, yup. A cartoon that successfully teaches Math Simpletons like me. And here's where Bauman truly succeeds: I fully intend to read Volume 2 - Macroeconomics. Bring it on. I only occasionally lolzed at Klein's drawings. View all 5 comments. Sep 15, Sarah Abd Elaziz rated it really liked it Shelves: sociology-economics , comics-manga-webtoon.

I enjoyed this book for much of its pages but I faltered right at the end over two ideas. One was the statement that "You might think that a decentralized economy guided by individual self-interest would lead to chaos, war and disaster This book was written in , two years after the market crash caused by self-interested bankers and a chaotic war that was paid for by a credit card, the bill for which was immediately handed off to the populace. So I I enjoyed this book for much of its pages but I faltered right at the end over two ideas.

So I guess I DO think a decentralized economy etc etc. But the experience of does show their analysis of market forces and taxation to be correct: i. This quote, I admit, is taken slightly out of context so I'm open to other interpretations of this. The other issue I had with the book was their sudden cheer leading for "Market forces" to be able to solve issues like climate change. Earlier in the book they had proven that the market forces were at best misunderstood and hard to define and then they wanted us to believe that simply "making pollution too expensive" will stop big business from bad practices, thus saving the planet - this is naive at best in my opinion.

Otherwise this is a fun read and it taught me a lot about the nuts and bolts of microeconomics in a very short space of time, if not a lot about the applied philosophy of using microeconomics in realistic situations. I would recommend reading widely around this title, so as to understand the author's nuanced viewpoint, but this will certainly give you a broad base to start from. I would like to give this four stars, it was a five for a long time, but the doubts at the end just gave me pause as to the author's purpose - so three it has to be.

Informative and very entertaining. Highly recommended for those who are new to the subject, like me! Though I'm exposed to macroeconomy and investment, almost all presented micro-economy concepts are new to me. The book presents ideas in a simple or maybe oversimplified language.

The book could be sufficient reading for those who want to grap the basics, while being beneficial as a starting point for those who plan to go deeper. View 1 comment. Jun 27, Fatima M.

I know very little about this subject and this seemed like a less intimidating way to get started. I was glad not that much time was spent discussing basic concepts like supply and demand and found some sections really interesting.

Sometimes the repetition of the math just ended up confusing me. I I know very little about this subject and this seemed like a less intimidating way to get started.
