Book Description
Essentials of Economics, 4th Edition by R. Glenn Hubbard and Anthony P. O’Brien, is a streamlined and highly accessible introduction to economic principles. The text is designed to demonstrate the relevance of economics to students' everyday lives and future careers by using real-world business examples and policy debates. By focusing on the core concepts without overwhelming readers with excessive technicality, the authors provide a clear path to understanding how markets function and how economic decisions are made.
The textbook is organized into comprehensive parts that transition from microeconomic foundations—such as how markets work and firm behavior—to macroeconomic essentials, including monetary and fiscal policy. A significant emphasis is placed on the role of government and the impact of the international economy on domestic growth. This structure allows students to see the 'big picture' of economic systems while mastering the individual components that drive them.
Throughout Essentials of Economics, Hubbard and O’Brien use their expertise to bridge the gap between theory and practice. The book features numerous 'Economics in Your Life' and 'An Inside Look' segments that highlight current events and corporate strategies. This 4th edition remains an essential resource for undergraduate students who need a solid, practical understanding of economics to navigate the modern global business environment.
