Applied Economics Thinking Beyond Stage One

A guide to how economic decisions are developed and explains the application of economics to such major world problems as housing, medical care, discrimination, and the economic development of nations. To address those questions particularly relevant to our times, this new, expanded edition includes chapters on the economics of immigration, the economics of organ transplants, the "creative" financing of home buying that led to the current mortgage crisis, and on the political and economic incentives that lead to a neglect of infrastructure in general and, in particular, to the diversion of money earmarked for highways to mass transit.

Revised for modern times, including a section discussing the 2008 World Economic Crisis, Sowell's masterpiece is a triumph in literary scholarship as well as the archetype for all economic pamphlets and tomes."@en

  • "Many of today's economic issues are obscured by their inherent complexity and the often confusing and conflicting views coming from political talking heads. Sowell, a leading conservative economist and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, seeks to alleviate this confusion. He begins by elucidating the differences between politicians, who are often compelled by political considerations to act for the short term, and economists, who are more concerned with long term ramifications. Sowell then focuses on the application of economics to major contemporary real world problems; housing, medical care, discrimination, and the economic development of nations. Sowell's audience is the average citizen with little or no economics background who would like the tools to think critically about economic issues."
