My book, "Analytic Economics", is selling at Amazon.com and GetTextBooks.com. The price range is from $250 to $1340.
The book also gives a theory for international trade, which can calculate the best tariff rates for import/export. This theory will be very helpful for President Trump, especially for how much tariff rate should be imposed in the tariff war against China.
