By bringing to light delightful mind-teasers, philosophical questions and intriguing politics in mainstream economics, it promises to enliven an otherwise dry course whilst inspiring students to do well.\u003cbr\u003eThe book covers all the main economic concepts and addresses in detail three main areas: \u003cbr\u003e* consumption and choice\u003cbr\u003e* production and markets\u003cbr\u003e* government and the State.\u003cbr\u003eEach is discussed in terms of what the conventional textbook says, how these ideas developed in historical and philosophical terms and whether or not they make sense. Assumptions about economics as a discipline are challenged, and several pertinent students' anxieties ('Should I be studying economics?') are discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYanis Varoufakis\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in Economics at Sydney University.
