Riassunto

Foundations of Economics, fifth edition is ideal for students taking introductory economics modules as part of an interdisciplinary course. Building on the success of the previous editions, the book provides accessible overviews of key economic topics, interweaving these with real-world examples and practical activities to equip students to think for themselves. Features of this edition include:

• Topical and up-to-date material, presented alongside real-world examples and policy problems
• Additional mini case studies on areas such as banking, youth unemployment, sport and the music industry, to demonstrate the practical application of economics in contemporary situations
• Consideration of the global financial crisis, European economy and recent policy developments

Succinctly offering the proven quality, consistency and clarity of the parent text Economics ('The Student Bible', BBC Radio 4), Foundations of Economics, fifth edition is the essential text for today's non-specialist economics student.

The book is accompanied by an excellent resource package at www.mcgraw-hill.co.uk/textbooks/begg, which includes:

For students: Interactive graphing tool, case studies, self-test questions, weblinks
