主流教科书将经济学视为一门客观科学,不受价值判断的影响。《微观经济学》反教科书证明了这是一个神话——它不仅让这类教科书显得平淡无奇,而且在为现状辩护和忽视替代方案方面也具有危险的误导性。
在这本经过全面更新和扩充的著名著作中,罗德·希尔教授和托尼·迈亚特教授以清晰简洁的方式在标准文本中阐述了每个主题的要点,然后进行了“反文本”分析和评论。希尔和迈亚特挑战了假设、论点和模型,为解读教科书提供了必要的指南,并表明真实经济学远比呈现给学生的简单化版本更有趣——更具颠覆性。
The Microeconomics Anti-Textbook: A Critical Thinker’s Guide, 2nd edition
Mainstream textbooks present economics as an objective science, free from value judgements. 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.
