Economics and All That

From Firms and Industries to Labor, Government and the International Economy

About this book

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
