About this book

Economics provides an interactive and illuminating account of the issues facing all economies today. The writing style reflects the nature of discourse of the discipline, providing an analytical rather than a descriptive approach. Students are often intimidated by the sheer length of the traditional texts, and by the diagrammatic presentation and algebraic/mathematical notation. Economics presents the core material in a much more user-friendly and accessible manner, motivating students to take an interest in economics and helping them to appreciate its relevance to the world in which they live.
Designed to meet the needs of non-specialist students, the text features:
* chapter overviews
* on-page glossary definitions
* chapter summaries
* self-test questions, including questions for discussion
* suggestions for further reading
* links to the internet
Both lecturer and student textbook support web sites are available via www.macmillan-press.co.uk
