Economics and All That - Weaver, Jefferson Hane

Volume 2 of Economics and All That explains fundamental concepts of economics to both students and members of the lay audience who want to learn more about such things as labor issues, the role of government in economics, and international economy. The title of this book is borrowed from the tongue-in-cheek thousand-year history of England called 1066 and All That, which has been a classic for almost a century. The book uses humorous examples to help readers understand many of the basic concepts of economics, some of which are: Price Discrimination The Law of Diminishing Returns Monopolies Oligopolies Division of Labor The Labor Theory of Value The Phillips Curve Gross Domestic Product Hyperinflation Supply Side Economics Price Controls Central Planning Free Trade The Gold Standard The Digital Economy Jefferson Hane Weaver is a transactional attorney who specializes in corporate law, real estate law and estate planning in Coral Springs, Florida.
