Synopsis

Economics: Made Simple, 14th Edition covers all the basic aspects of the economic organization of free-enterprise societies, with special reference to Great Britain's position in the European Community. The book tackles the production, distribution, and exchange of goods and services, both within a country and internationally. The text also discusses the basic ideas on production; the factors, scale, and location of production; and the types of business units. The theory of price determination, the money system, the importance of the distribution theory, and the theory of international trade are also discussed. The book describes macroeconomics and the problems associated with it; national income; the development of economic theory; and money, monetary policy, and monetarism. The part played by governments in controlling abuses, promoting social progress, and managing prosperity and the historical development of Economics are considered as well. Students reading books on Economics as a liberal study and practicing economists will find the book useful.
