Pearson Economics 11: The Market Economy Student Book 2027, 1st edition

Pearson Economics 11: The Market Economy is the leading text for Year 11 Economics in NSW.

It has been fully revised and updated for the new NSW Economics 11–12 syllabus and includes a new teaching and learning program to guide teachers through the new syllabus.

It introduces students to the core models and frameworks that economists use to make sense of how markets work, how producers and consumers make decisions, and how government policy shapes economic outcomes in Australia.
