About the book

Senior Economics has been revised to make the language and ideas of Economics more accessible than ever, while retaining the intellectual rigour of the subject that is rewarding in its own right. Throughout the text, up-to-date examples and case studies are used to enhance students' understanding, which is tested at frequent intervals by carefully written activities and exercises. Flowcharts, photographs, lists, learning objectives, graphs and tables, all in full colour, have been provided throughout for today's visually sophisticated learners.
