E-Book: Success in Microeconomics - A Concise Companion to Core Concepts

Hi my dear readers, 

Hope my post finds you well. Kindly allow me to introduce "Success in Microeconomics - A Concise Companion to Core Concepts", a useful resource I have written that explains core theories and concepts in microeconomics in a clear-cut, simple manner, that is easy to master and effective in addressing a variety of microeconomic issues and questions.

In other words, I introduce my effective, simple, powerful guide to Microeconomics, to assist you in your journey towards success in economics. 

As I said in my previous post here on this site, many economics students want high quality economics notes and explanations in key arguments or main points, rather than long verbose academic explanations, with running pages of yet more masses of information, additional case studies, and many more pages of academic appendices and annexes.

In fact, many lecture notes write a mass of academic information rather than focusing on the important theories and concepts needed for educational success - and depth of understanding in economics is as important as breadth, if not more important in examinations.

What would be a useful and relevant economics guide, that had important theories and useful concepts in the subject?

That provision of a useful and relevant economics guide was the fundamental basis of Success in Macroeconomics (kindly see my previous post on Macroeconomics), which would be useful for economics students preparing for the H1/H2 / A level Economics examination. Thank you for your kind support if you have taken up this excellent opportunity.

This e-book on Microeconomics would be useful for students preparing for the A level Economics examination (H1, and H2 Economics, likewise) as well.

What are the secrets to success in Microeconomics?

What are the secrets? What will you learn in this effective, clear-cut, and relevantly concise guide to the most important microeconomic theories and concepts?

(1) Clear, concise definitions to important microeconomic theories and useful concepts, like the central problem of economics, and the price mechanism of demand and supply with elasticities; 

(2) Simply effective step-by-step arguments and methods to construct a convincing economic case, either for or against any economic position, on a range of microeconomic questions on a variety of economic topics or theoretical academic areas

(3) Many common market failures (and how to explain them carefully to score the highest marks possible) and how governments may or may not respond in some policy-problem cases (and how to explain them carefully)

(4) The most useful and powerful economics diagrams that economics students can use in their economics essays, with clear-cut, step-by-step explanations to effectively analyse economic questions, along with simple yet effective tables and figures for easy memorisation

(5) Useful, relevant, theoretical knowledge for crafting strong economic analysis on a variety of relevant contemporary microeconomic issues 

Most importantly, my e-book can be used as a set of simple yet clear-cut economics notes for easy memorisation, for success in economics examinations, giving economics students an edge over others who have to wade through a mass of information and make sense of a bewildering array of information and red herrings.

With concise yet incisive economic arguments, with fundamental microeconomic theories and concepts, this book can be used for time-effective and cost-effective examination preparation, helping economics students prepare for examinations for high achievement in academic success.

Furthermore, this useful microeconomics e-book can also be used as an excellent complementary companion for supplementary reading, because it focuses on microeconomic issues and useful concepts.

I have kindly contributed this e-book to Sallyforth Enterprise, a social enterprise which strongly supports social enterprises, volunteerism, and charity, donating part of all proceeds to charity. Most of the beneficiaries are underprivileged in less developed communities, women, and widows. I always think win-win, and this is win-win indeed!

E-Book: Success in Macroeconomics - A Concise Companion to Core Concepts

Hi my dear readers, 

Allow me to introduce the next economics e-book in my series, "Success in Macroeconomics: A Concise Companion to Core Concepts". 

Written by myself (the editor) of the popular, useful, and relevant economics blog, JC Economics Essays, "Success in Macroeconomics" is a clear cut, concise companion to core economic concepts and theories for success in understanding Macroeconomics simply and effectively, which will help students gain an edge to excel academically in their economics examinations. 

Often, students want a clear and simple guide or effective lecture notes that provide the main arguments and explanations of key economics concepts, rather than a long, verbose textbook. They often lament that their school economics notes sometimes give a deluge of information, or an overload of economics case studies, and they are unsure of what the core economics content is, or what economics theories and concepts they should be focusing on for their studies. 

Since 2012, I have heard this common comment over and over (and as well as the reverse comment, incidentally, that some other junior college's economics lecture notes are totally in point form and need students to fill in the blanks, so as to keep them awake during econs lectures - such clever teachers). 

It's a legitimate issue: what learning resource provides a clear and simple economics guide that summarises key concepts and theories needed for the A levels? 

My e-book provides an effective solution - how? 

My concise guide provides simple yet effective explanations of key economics concepts, and entire arguments in paragraph form, for easy learning and retention. 

With this targeted solution, writing argumentative paragraphs or economic analysis in essays becomes simply more effective and efficient. 

Without long wordy paragraphs and additional filler information, this concise companion to core macroeconomic theories provides clear definitions, word-for-word explanations, and effective theoretical analyses of various macroeconomic issues. 

What will you learn?

In this effective yet concise guide to core A level macro-economic theories and concepts, students will learn:  

(1) Clear, concise, easy-to-memorise definitions to highly important macroeconomic concepts and theories often tested in economics tests and examinations

(2) Clear, accurate, step-by-step arguments to make a convincing economic case, either for or against an economic position, on a diverse range of macroeconomic questions and issues 

(3) Theories on major macroeconomic problems and how governments theoretically could implement impactful economic policies to address these macroeconomic problems and pursue their macroeconomic objectives

(4) The clear, step-by-step arguments to make to explain the mechanisms of the economic policies and the analysis of their limitations, with specific arguments to make for specific policies

(5) Commonly used economics diagrams, with detailed yet simple explanations, that you can draw and utilise to analyse questions 

(6) Useful and relevant, yet simple to understand, concise economic information for economic analysis on a variety of common macroeconomic issues

How a book helps students is often dependent on how it is used, so let me share some useful suggestions for your consideration. (Don't worry, I have also included a small section in the e-book to remind readers of how best to utilise the resource to reach their fullest potential.)

First, this book is an excellent complementary companion to supplement a traditional economics education, because it focuses students' attention on core macroeconomic issues and useful concepts. 

It can be used for additional reading. Usually, strong economics students already have a good understanding of the subject, so they can just read this book from cover to cover. It will still help them, a lot! 

Secondly, Success in Macroeconomics can be alternatively used effectively as a set of simple yet clear-cut notes for easy memorisation for quick success in economics examinations. 

This would make this guide more significant as a revision toolkit for examination preparation. 

With concise yet incisive arguments that are easy to understand, yet pack an impactful, powerful punch, with relevant theories and concepts, this economics book can be used for effective examination preparation. 

If you want to learn A level Macroeconomics more effectively, do click on the link and get this useful guide now. 

In Success in Macroeconomics - A Concise Companion to Core Concepts - you will be receiving: 

Pages: 68 pages including cover pages 

Chapters: 28 chapters 

Edition: 1st Edition, 2015

Details: Full colour; high resolution; with varied economics diagrams

Update Post! E-Book on How to Study Economics (3rd Ed.) by JC Economics Essays

[This is an updated post replacing the earlier post on the e-book How To Learn Economics. Thank you once again to kind supporters!]

Hi my dear readers, 

E-Book on How to Study Economics (3rd Ed.) by JC Economics Essays

As you know, JC Economics Essays is an economics blog collection of sample model essays from former students, teachers, and National Institute of Education (NIE) trainee teachers, and some economics articles written by myself, for reference and reading.

Basically, this blog is about economics essays, of all sorts and from a variety of sources. I edit some of the essays and comment on some of them, and they all demonstrate different perspectives on how to approach economics essays. 

However, the main focus of this entire economics blog is mainly on essays. 

There have of course been a few economics articles on this site on how to write a good economics paragraph and how to craft good macroeconomics essays, but generally speaking this economics blog has a lot of material on economics, essay writing, and essays in general and much less in the way of how to study economics. 

In the link below (yes, this is a plug, a shout out, a sharing! :)) I have an updated (June 2015) e-book called How to Study Economics, which is about effective studying skills, useful methods of learning, and means of how to learn Economics effectively. 

Do visit it and if you're interested you could buy the book, and thus contribute to Sallyforth Enterprise, which is a social enterprise dedicated to sharing profits to help underprivileged communities in less developed economies, women, and widows. 

So, what will you learn from How to Study Economics (3rd Ed.)?

In this new and updated e-book on How to Study Economics, you will learn:

1. the secrets of how to study Economics effectively, directly, and relevantly

2. the secrets of how to craft excellent Economics essays that will score high marks reliably and consistently in tests and examinations  

3. the secrets to successfully ace your Case Study Questions 

4. additional useful economics content and material above and beyond what you learn in school

5. and how to make strong analytical comments about the Singapore macroeconomy 

Hope you can support this e-book, and concomitantly support social enterprise and charity, while at the same time learning relevant and useful  material. Thank you very much! 

Also, all the very best for studying economics! Just do your best and apply what you have learnt. Hopefully this economics blog and the ebook might help you ace the subject :)

Thank you very much for reading and cheers!

Editor of JC Economics Essays

Notice to Readers: What is JC Economics Essays All About? ... and A Sales Pitch

Hi everyone, and welcome to JC Economics Essays. This is an important notice and also a sales pitch for economics and for social enterprise. 

The history and backstory of JC Economics Essays

I am the editor of JC Economics Essays - I am an economics blogger who curates this blog I set up years ago. 

I set up this economics blog in late 2007 (technically, in 2007, the blog people read back then was the predecessor or grandfather of today's wildly successful and popular site you now see right here). 

Back then, I wanted to share essays to help students understand what it took to craft a good economics essay, and to share good or interesting essays that I have read or written. 

These values still hold true today. 

In fact, many years later, this collection of essays written by a multitude of wonderful and hardworking contributors, as well as my kind self, has become a famous and popular blog.  

What is JC Economics Essays about?

JC Economics Essays is an economics blog that shares mainly economics essays contributed by A level students from many junior colleges all around Singapore, as well as economics essays contributed by teachers and professors alike. 

However, beyond H1, H2, and H3 economics essays, it also shares essay writing tips and techniques, methods of addressing examination questions, economics quotes, and undergraduate and post-graduate economics essays on a variety of related topics. It also features some London School of Economics masters essays too, as a matter of fact!

Basically, it's an economics blog of fairly wide range and scope. 

What is it not?

However, JC Economics Essays is not affiliated to any economics tuition centres or businesses with similar names, although I am flattered that they have tried to mimic our success. We have over 56,000 unique visitors from all over the world and from Singapore at the time of this notice (5th June 2015). 

Competition in a free market is a real thing - there are lots of people attempting to copy my site's success. One particular competitor even copied the concept of the picture I took - but then again imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Some competitors are even using the same keywords that I have been using since 2007. 

To emphasise my point: the ideas, concepts, words, and economics essays from this economics blog are free for everyone to access, with the caveat that plagiarism is not good for learning. My emphasis will, and always has been, that learning economics should be a proactive process of reading and self-directed learning. This is a free website, with good material for reading - but not for copying of course.  

I also have to say that if any of the essays are copied from this site, that would constitute copyright infringement, which is illegal, in additional to plagiarism, which is intellectual dishonesty. 

Why do I explain what it is not?

Why I wrote this section on what this site is not about comes from something a friend told me. 

She told me that, wow, you have so many competitors with the same or similar name as yours - JC Economics this, and JC Economics Essays that! Some of them even have similar and undifferentiated domain names. And she even spotted that particular website by another author who also used a similar picture to mine (mine was taken earlier). She also commented that there are a lot of tuition centres following the model essay approach I used, way back in 2007. (They have the right to do that, by the way. It's perfectly fine. I am purely writing this so that you know that they are not me, and my economics blog is different and unique.)

Well, the name I chose for my blog was common and totally "unbranded", with simple words, because I wanted to make it easy for students to find good, useful, and accessible economics materials. 

In fact, it's literally JC Economics Essays.  

I wrote this to help new readers differentiate between this economics blog and other sites you may see online, because lots of people use a similar name (as I said, they are free to do so, naturally). 

First, JC Economics Essays is not a business, and is a free economics essays blog with contributions and perspectives. Yes, Google Ads may provide sponsorship, but you do not pay when you visit this site. 

Second, this site is also about self-directed learning and research, and not about tuition. In fact, I do not even include diagrams in the blog so that students can get some practice thinking or drawing. 

If you want economics tuition, you can get it. 

You can get tuition from those other companies, if you want tuition. 

My point, to reassure fans, friends, and loyal readers is: JC Economics Essays was and will always remain a free economics blog. It is not a business, and it is not about tuition. 

... For tuition, please refer to my kind sponsors and my kind competitors. 

However, although this site is free, now I do indeed have a sales pitch or proposition to make which might benefit society. So, please do help me here. 

Support Social Enterprise

If you are interested in buying excellent quality yet affordable economics material - namely How to Study Economics (3rd Ed.) and economics notes, please visit Sallyforth Enterprise (online shop). For the economics e-books that we have written, they do have diagrams and pictures, and provide useful and affordable material that are relevant, impactful, and effective to use. 

We have donated our e-books to Sallyforth Enterprise, a social enterprise that donates portions of profits to charity. You can buy our e-books and economics notes (coming soon!) from Sallyforth Enterprise. 

By the way, some very kind and encouraging supporters bought the earlier editions of the book, even though the costs were higher back then; if you are reading this, thank you for your kind support and also for putting up with the fact that back then technology was limited (I admit, I was a luddite). Thank you because your support is really valued and important. 

What is Sallyforth Enterprise? Please click here to visit Sallyforth Enterprise (her weebly.com website). 

Sallyforth Enterprise is a social enterprise providing education on personal effectiveness, financial management, entrepreneurship, and business strategies, while contributing portions of profits to support the needy and underprivileged, especially in less developed economies, and especially for women and widows. We strongly support what Sallyforth Enterprise's charitable work. 

Please help support social enterprise in Singapore! Thank you very much for your kind support.

So, to wrap up -

In conclusion, I hope to have shown you that this a free economics essays blog that is not a business nor a tuition centre (those people are using similar names, but it is not me and my kind friends). 

I also hope to have shared my enthusiasm and passion for supporting social enterprise, as well as effective and affordable economics e-books and material. 

Finally, I would love to thank once again all kind contributors, supporters, friends, and family for your kind support, without which this economics essays blog would not have had its amazing success. You have made it all happen with your generosity, kindness, and spirit of learning and adventure. 

Thank you especially to the loyal fans who really make this work. For all your feedback and support through thick and thin - simply wonderful and amazing. 

Thank you very much for your kind support! Thanks for reading, and cheers.
