This second edition presents the fundamentals of economics, with the key goal of providing students with an understanding of the economic issues of the 90s and a framework for understanding future economic events. Features new to this edition include: mathematical boxes which are included at the end of some chapters to show how mathematics can be applied to economics and how it provides extra insight; "Reading between the lines" sections featuring news articles to help students interpret daily news events using economic principles, while developing their critical thinking skills; improved clarity; and refined artwork. This text is intended for A level Economics courses and 1st year undergraduate students in introductory courses in economics.
Reflecting the changing world around us, Economics brings the subject to life, helping the student separate the wood from the trees in the economic landscape.
Linking theory to practice, this successful textbook illuminates the meaning hidden in the headlines, examines the interplay between real-world policy decisions and economic outcomes, and analyses the effects of choices made in the personal interest versus those in the public interest.
Written by an expert team of teachers, this sixth European edition continues to aid the discovery and application of the core principles of economics. Full of lively, accessible and relevant debates, this book enables students to think like an economist.
