Synopsis

With daily reports of downturns, upturns, stock market rallies, and the possibility of a "double-dip" recession, concerns over the economy are again at the top of the public agenda. Economics can be endlessly fascinating, but most of us find that itgets perplexing very quickly because so many of its concepts are purely theoretical. CIG Economics begins by showing in everyday terms how markets work-the dynamics of supply and demand and prices, and introducing the key players in the economy-consumers, business and government, then uses the behavior of these three groups to illustrate the basic theories and ideas. And true to the CIG series, the material is rooted in easy-to-follow terms of "who does what to whom and why".
