Title overview

Pearson Economics 12: Australia in the Global Economy is the leading text for students undertaking the NSW Year 12 Economics course. It is fully aligned to the current Year 12 syllabus.

This 2027 edition has been fully revised to reflect the latest developments in Australia and the global economy. It equips students to understand the key economic issues shaping 2027, including the implications for Australia  of:

  • global trade tensions
  • conflict in the Middle East
  • rising global instability.

The text also offers detailed analysis of economic policy under the second-term Albanese government, from the challenges of tax reform and persistent inflationary pressures to lifting Australia's rate of economic growth.  The text includes updated graphs, end-of-chapter summaries and review questions, and revised case studies of the economies of Brazil and Indonesia.
