Résumé

Economics is a highly respected and successful textbook, valued world-wide by students for its comprehensive and engaging coverage of introductory economics. The book presents economics as an interesting, lively and relevant subject and it helps students to see how the world works by developing "an economic way of thinking"

Its clarity of exposition, lively examples and quality full-colour artwork help bring the subject powerfully to life in the 21st century. Its aim is to accurately reflect and encompass the constantly shifting economic world around us.

Building on the high standards set by previous editions, this sixth European edition has been carefully and thoroughly revised so that it may continue to help the student to think like an economist, as well as apply the fundamental principles of the discipline to the business environment.

Ideal for all introductory Economics courses.
