Résumé

This new edition of Sloman's Economics has been thoroughly revised and updated and several new features have been added. The full-colour design has been improved to make the book even more attractive and easy to use.

It still has one overriding aim: to make the subject of economics exciting, relevant and clear to understand. John Sloman achieves this by combining a straightforward and direct writing style with a wealth of contemporary examples and case studies that bring economic theory alive. These features have made Economics the most successful European-originated introduction to economics.

Self-assessment questions integrated throughout the text to encourage a more active and reflective approach to learning. Additional questions at the end of each chapter.
All technical terms highlighted and defined at the foot of the page where they first appear. Each term is also included in a comprehensive glossary at the end of the book and highlighted in the index for quick reference.
Web references in the margin. These refer students to a comprehensive list of sites in an appendix at the end of the book. These sites can all be accessed directly from the book's own Web site.
Full-page chapter introductions to give students an overview and to see how the chapter is structured.
Summaries at the end of each section to allow frequent checking on understanding.
Many boxes (around 7 per chapter) providing case studies, news items, contemporary and historical debates and issues, institutional material, anecdotes and advanced topics.
Plentiful examples drawn from around the world.
