本书是为国际文凭课程大学预科项目(IBDP)设计的经济学辅导书。全书分为21章，每章内容由Key concepts，Example questions and answers和Exercises这3部分组成。前两部分在概念解释和例题答案的基础上，进一步说明了做出这些解释和答案的缘由。习题部分不仅提供了系统的解题训练，还提供了一些IB-style exercises以便学生检验自己的水平。本书重点在于经济学论述题的强化训练，有助于IBDP考生形成专业的IB答题思路，写出更好的IB经济答卷。
有些学生一接触IB经济学的时候就“开窍”了，而大部分学生则找不到方向，也容易一直迷失下去。IB经济真的不简单。你想写出更棒的IB经济答卷吗？想知道什么样子的答题思路才是IB思路吗？那么本书正是为你准备的。本书显著的特色正是建立在“认知学徒制”的基础之上的。本书不仅提供了概念解释和例题答案，还进一步说明了我们做出这些解释和答案的缘由。本书的重点在于经济学论述题，目的在于提高你的效率。
有些学生一接触IB经济学就“开窍”了，而大部分学生则找不到方向，容易一直迷失下去。对于后一类学生来说，参考别的同学的优秀答题范例固然有用，但轮到自己答题时还是不行——本来没有信心的，现在可能还是没有。我们知道，IB经济真的不简单。你呢？你想写出更棒的IB经济答卷吗？想知道什么样子的答题思路才是IB思路吗？那么本书正是为你准备的。我们在前言之后加入了一个“How to use this book”的章节。你可以通过它了解本书具体的使用方法。不过在此之前，我们还是想稍微介绍一下指导本书设计方向的理念： 认知学徒制（cognitive apprenticeship）。“学徒”的概念历史悠久。学徒跟着师傅在工场实习，逐渐通过观察和练习来掌握知识技能。学徒制之所以有效，是因为学徒想要学习的技能是“可见”的。在课堂里可就不一样了： 教师经常告诉学生该做什么，却不一定会说明每一步背后的原因，学生也就“看不见”教师大脑里的解题过程。认知学徒制就是要让教师把思维的过程表达出来，这样学生在解题时就有了明确的可以模仿的对象 Collins A， 2006． Cognitive apprenticeship［C］//R． Sawyer （Ed．）． The Cambridge handbook of the learning sciences． New York： Cambridge University Press： 4760．。本书最显著的特色正是建立在“认知学徒制”的基础之上的。本书不仅提供了概念解释和例题答案，还进一步说明了我们做出这些解释和答案的缘由。我们认为最差的应试策略是背书，虽然说背书在某种程度上来说，帮助学生解决了语言组织问题。而最佳的应试策略则是在理解消化书本的基础上根据题目的要求来回答。本书两方面都照顾到了——要守住IB 5分的话，背本书提供的解释就好了；要冲击IB 7分的话，则应该尽力去理解本书中的各种注释条目。选择权在你。不论你怎么选，本书的目的都在于提高你的效率。这本书的篇幅较长，因此不能没有重点。我们认为论述题（essay questions）对于非英语母语的学生来说是最困难的，特别是没有接受过系统论述题训练的中国学生。鉴于论述题集中于Paper 1和Paper 2，因此本书将关注点放在了这两张考卷上。Paper 3以数学为主，对中国学生来说压力较小，所以我们并没有将其纳入本书的讨论范围。为了便于IB学生使用，本书的文字正斜体和经济学图等格式均根据IB经济学惯例，并参照IB经济学考纲及国际教材的格式规范。本书能够最终成稿，离不开戴菁和王文轩两位老师提供的宝贵的审稿意见。在此我们向两位老师表示由衷的感谢。对于本书，虽然我们已尽心去写，力求让学生能够理解每一张考卷的考点，但要做到完美显然是不可能的。我们期待读者的反馈，这样才能让我们把本书改得越来越完善、越来越实用。
