The course "Economic Theory" is a basic discipline, which is now mandatory for higher education in any economic field. Interest in the discipline of the students is determined by the changes in the economy, which is currently taking place.
By studying this course, students acquire the skills of logical, abstract economic thinking and knowledge of the general principles of economic systems and the functioning of a market economy.

The authors set themselves the task to present the material in a fairly brief and as easy to understand, with reduction of graphic illustrations.
