Economics

Written by David Begg and Gianluigi Vernasca, this university-level text helps readers grasp the economy of today by working through the underlying theory and testing it against real events. This edition is a fresh update of the authors' earlier work.

The book covers recent debates in the field. Topics include how banks should be regulated, what globalization has brought about, the effects of monetary union, and how well today's economic models hold up under scrutiny.

A range of teaching features guides students through the past and present of economics and encourages them to reason critically about where those trends might lead.
