Applied Economics
- Synopsis
-
This revised and updated edition adds a chapter on the economics of immigration and includes interesting examples and analysis designed for general readers. The chapter on the economics of housing is up to date, exploring the recent subprime mortgage crisis and the role of "creative" financing. But the chapter on the economics of medical care, while expanded to cover the issue of organ transplants, appears to have been written before many of the issues arose in the current debate about paying for health care. Other chapters focus on labor, the economics of discrimination, and the economic development over time of various nations. Includes a sources section with the references written more in a text style. Sowell is a Scholar in Residence at the Hoover Institution. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
