Book Description

ISBN-10: 0415128161 | ISBN-13: 978-0415128162 | Publication Date: April 4, 1997 | Edition: 1

Economic principles can sometimes seem inaccessible. This text is designed to help the non-specialist understand - in the context of global change - why economic principles are important and how they are driving events. The book is extremely user-friendly. As well as diagrams, questions and summaries, key theories are illustrated in contemporary settings and explained in jargon-free, non-technical language. The book will be particularly useful to those who are new to economics and whose interest goes beyond the national economy.
