About this title

From the Publisher:

Begg: The Classic Economics Textbook
As the publisher, we take constructive criticism of our books seriously. That is why the "student" from London has made comments which should be disregarded, as subjective, ill-informed nonesense. BBC Radio 4 recently surveyed the opinions of academics and students, around the UK, to find out which book is the "classic" UK economics textbook. The BBC is to broadcast a series of 6 programmes dedicated to classic books, to be aired in September 1999, in which economics will feature as one programme in the series. It is not a surprise to anyone therefore, that the answer they came up with was Begg, Economics. It has sold 500,000 copies over the last 20 years, and has educated and equipped thousands of economists and non-economists well, with its clear, incisive instruction and direct, unwordy approach. David Begg is a distinguished economist, whose teaching style pervades the text. Accompanying the text is a student work book, and and for the instructor an excellent test bank and instructor's guide. I would suggest that anyone seriously contemplating the study of economics, without a copy of Begg by their side, is ill-equipped to the task - I used it as a student 10 years ago, it was good then, it's even better now. Buy it.
