Economic Way of Thinking, The (11th Edition) por Paul Heyne
I always used to want to write my ideal economics textbook. Then I read this book and realised that Heyne, Boettke, and Prychitko had already written it. Clear enough in its exposition to be accessible to the general reader whose interest in economics might have been piqued by something like Freakonomics, and heterogeneous enough in its outlook to interest and challenge a well read but orthodox economist, this is one of the best books on the subject I've ever read.
I’ve read that Heyne was an excellent teacher, but at least this edition of his book is crap at least for learning well. Heyne presents concepts in a breezy, loosely structured manner. It doesn’t make well for trying to apply the concepts, though it does do a pretty good job of imparting the gist of things. Perhaps it is perfect for an Econ for Jocks class. But I often found myself thinking, but I need clearer directions on how to apply this concept, or, I wish I had a definition for this term.
