Books for Economic Analysis (ECON 244)

The first and primary textbook is Principles of Economics, Third Edition, by Steve Greenlaw, David Shapiro, and Daniel MacDonald, which is FREE and Open Source. Please go to this link to acquire the FREE text in one of many formats:

This edition is newly revised for Fall 2023. I will continue to refer to the text as Greenlaw and Shapiro in the course. Yes, you may use the second edition, but why would you want to?

Textbook Number 2

The second book that we will use in the first week is by Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson. You can FREELY download it or read it online at https://fee.org/resources/economics-in-one-lesson/.
