Synopsis

Foundations of Economics, fifth edition is ideal for students taking introductory economics modules as part of an interdisciplinary course. Building on the success of the previous editions, the book provides accessible overviews of key economic topics, interweaving these with real-world examples and practical activities to equip students to think for themselves. Features of this edition include:

  • Additional mini case studies on areas such as banking, youth unemployment, sport and the music industry, to demonstrate the practical application of economics in contemporary situations
  • Consideration of the global financial crisis, European economy and recent policy developments
