Publisher's Summary
Economic forces are everywhere around you. But that doesn't mean you need to passively accept whatever outcome those forces might press upon you. Instead, with these 12 fast-moving and crystal clear lectures, you can learn how to use a small handful of basic nuts-and-bolts principles to turn those same forces to your own advantage.
Requiring no previous economics background, Professor Bartlett presents some of the fundamental principles and concepts that shape the lenses through which economists view the world. He then shows you how to use these simple analytical tools to understand what you see through those lenses. By learning to identify the many varied situations in which economics affects your life and how to wield the tools that can help you make the wisest choices in those situations, you'll enhance not only your understanding of daily life but your own success in living it.
Packed with case studies, helpful strategies, economic insights, and more, this series will equip you with a reliable toolkit for thinking more like an everyday economist and approach the issues in your own life with a more educated, seasoned eye. And after these dozen lectures with Professor Bartlett, things really will look very different. You'll see how basic economic ideas like incentives, risks, rewards, and rationality are not just the province of professional economists, government policymakers, or your local bank's loan officer, but instead lie at the root of nearly every decision you must make in your daily life.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Perfect anyone in business. Thinking like an economist connects well with anyone who thinks strategically about marketing and sales.

Very very well done.
The writer makes university level economics explainable to a 10 year old. It's entertaining and informative. Knocked the whole book out in a day.

One of my favorite courses ever
I listened to this course twice through and I enjoyed it immensely both times.
The teacher is clearly both passionate and knowledgeable about his subject. He brings economics to life, which helps it stick. He makes it applicable to the everyday experience, which also helps it stick. My life is better off for having listened to and applied this course.
I would love to hear more from this teacher.
