From the Back Cover

Economics has never been so exciting to learn, nor so challenging to teach!

 

 

The fifth edition of Essentials of Economics contains the most recent data and coverage of economics issues as the world recovers from the global financial turmoil.

 

Just like the economy, Essentials of Economics, the market leading concise text in introductory economics, has also been through a thorough overhaul. While retaining its classic features and clear and engaging writing style, it has many new features, including: 

 

• New co-author Dean Garratt, a macroeconomist and also lecturer in first-year economics from Nottingham Trent University.
• Extensive rewrite of the macroeconomic chapters including:
  • A revised introductory chapter with extended coverage of the components of aggregate demand.
  • Materials relating to the issue of economic growth, both in the short and long run, are brought together in a new Chapter 9, Aggregate supply and growth.  
  • The banking crisis and the issues of liquidity and securitisation are explored in Chapter 10, while Chapter 12 looks at government policy dealing with the crisis and the subsequent recession.
• Strengthened theoretical coverage while retaining its straightforward focus on the essentials, for example, there is an expanded section on game theory which now covers multiple-move games.

• Over 30 new, revised and shorter boxes including What we pay to watch sport, Tackling the credit crunch and Doctor the world has caught a cold.
