教科書

一流経済学者(McAfee)による、初のオープンソースのミクロ経済学の教科書。

彼のウェブ上のコメントより抜粋。

“......They*1 issue new editions frequently to kill off the used book market, and the rapidity of new editions contributes to errors and bloat. Moreover, textbooks have gotten dumb and dumber as publishers seek to satisfy the student who prefers to learn nothing. Many have gotten so dumb ("simplified") so as to be simply incorrect. And they want $100 for this schlock? Where is the attempt to show the students what economics is actually about, and how it actually works? Why aren't we trying to teach the students more, rather than less? "

Superb.
