This book is specially prepared for law school students who take economics as a compulsory course. Since, medium of teaching is Turkish at ali law schools in Turkey, the method employed in teaching a course in English must be both theoretical and practical. To achieve this goal, my late friend Tümay Ertek and I decided to follow this teaching model in vvhich Turkish and English textbooks are used. This is the reason why I referred to the figures and tables in his popular book, Basic Economics. in vvriting this book, I considered his book, Temel Ekonomi' and notes titled 'Economics for Lawyers'. Thus, based on my notes, I completed writing the first edition of this book. This book comprises three main parts in 21 chapters. The first part includes principles of micro-economics, whereas the second part covers macro-economics and recent issues discussed in economics. The last part is completely devoted to History of Economic Thoughts.
