The Microeconomics Anti-Textbook demonstrates this to be a myth - one which serves to make such textbooks not only off-puttingly bland, but also dangerously misleading in their justification of the status quo and neglect of alternatives. In this fully updated and expanded edition of their celebrated book, Professors Rod Hill and Tony Myatt lay out the essentials of each topic in the standard texts in a clear and concise way, before presenting an 'anti-text' analysis and critique. Challenging the assumptions, arguments, and models, Hill and Myatt provide the essential guide to decoding the textbooks, and show that real economics is far more interesting - and subversive - than the simplistic version presented to students."-- from publisher's website. 650 0 $a Economics. 650 0 $a Microeconomics. 650 0 $a Critical thinking. 650 0 $a Textbook bias. 700 1 $a Myatt, Anthony, $e author. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000416997212 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781783607327 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802020530.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77434898E23911EC9D80461122ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
