Dollars a Change: Economics in Context . By Louis Putterman. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2001. Pp. xii, 284. $40.00, cloth; $19.95, paper.
这本书面向本科生,用非技术语言讨论经济学与社会科学交叉的广泛议题,帮助对传统经济学课程感到失望的学生理解经济学如何回应他们关心的更广泛问题。
This book, designed for undergraduates, fills a unique niche—to show students turned off by the “narrow approach” of Economics 101 that the discipline has something to say about the broader issues with which they are concerned. Much of the discussion, carried out in nontechnical language, focuses on topics lying at the boundaries between technical economics and the other social-science disciplines. The vast range of topics can be best viewed by looking individually at the major themes of the six chapters.
