Explorations in Pragmatic Economics
Explorations in Pragmatic Economics is a collection of Akerlof's most important papers. It provides both an introduction to his work and a grounding in modern economics. This book is divided into two broad areas: microeconomics and macroeconomics. It covers the economics of information, the theory of unemployment, macroeconomic equilibria, the demand for money, psychology and economics, and the nature of discrimination and other social issues.
