Making Sense: An Alternative Approach to Economic Principles

This book provides an alternative approach to the mundane, widget based, mainstream approach to learning economic principles. The book is focused on six key ideas, and contains a strong narrative to develop how these ideas are connected to a model. The book is visual, with graphs, tables, and boxed in text for the most important ideas. There are hundreds of real world applications and questions, and the overriding emphasis is on explanation. The book is about learning to think like an economist.
