Principles and Theories of Economics

Unlimited needs and limited resources with alternative uses create basic problems of an economy. Every economy strives to solve these problems through prudent and national use of these limited resources in the best way to secure maximum satisfaction of human wants and overall economic development. In such an endeavour, economists have to follow sound principles and theories of economics. “Principles and Theories of Economics” presents all concepts, theories, principles and techniques of economic development in a lucid manner.
