Synopsis

People who are not interested in public policy cannot afford to be unaware of economic analysis. Almost every important debate turns on economic issues, and individuals are left in a worrisome state of dependency on 'experts' if they cannot think through their own opinions and conclusions with confidence. The traditional economics text-an encyclopaedia that exceeds 1000 pages-does not solve this problem for most individuals. Nor does a brief primer that simply lists the author's opinions as assertions. Economics: The Essentials provides a rigorous explanation of how economic analysis can illuminate everyday problems. It is concise but it is demanding reading. It imparts an in-depth understanding of economic analysis without ever departing from a focus on policy issues for more than a page or two.
