Economics affects our daily lives in crucial ways. We constantly hear about recessions and unemployment, inflation and cost-of-living crises, economic growth and inequality, climate change and carbon taxes, interest rates and house prices, and tariffs and trade wars. What does this all mean?
Written in a highly engaging style, Economics: A Global Introduction cuts through the jargon to provide a comprehensive introduction to the basics of economics. This book includes applications of economic principles and insights from behavioural economics into contemporary issues such as global warming and the COVID-19 pandemic. This book is replete with real-world examples and anecdotes from politics, literature, film, and sports to help the reader grasp fundamental micro- and macroeconomic concepts. Student-friendly features include case studies, start-of-chapter learning objectives, discussion questions and answers, further reading suggestions, and mathematical appendices. This book is accompanied by useful digital resources, including lecture recordings, PowerPoint slides, and a test bank containing both multiple-choice and essay questions and answers.
Suitable for students who may pursue further studies in economics, as well as those choosing a different field, Economics: A Global Introduction is the ideal textbook for providing students with an economic perspective on the world.
