Many consumers have been mystified by Economics in general and the economy in particular. This book finally lifts the veil of Economics and exposes the public to: the foundational theory of Economics by the primary theorists in the field; current, cutting-edge research; and some practical uses of the subject matter by businesspeople, the government and consumers. This book is a "must-read" for those interested in the foundations of our present economy and the knowledge necessary to understand the future of economic growth.
