Economics is a highly successful textbook, which is known and respected world-wide for its comprehensive coverage of introductory economics, its clarity of exposition, its lively applications and examples and for the quality of its four-colour artwork.Using the high standards set by previous editions, this Fourth European Edition has been carefully revised and now places even greater emphasis on helping the student understand the core concepts of economics and to think like an economist. The Fourth Edition has been carefully crafted to meet five overriding goals: *To focus on the core principles of choice and opportunity cost, marginal analysis substitution and incentives, the power of competitive process and the core tools of supply and demand. New issues are explained by using familiar ideas and tools. *To use the core principles to explain the issues and problems of our time such as the environment, health care, widening income gaps, etc *To create a flexible teaching and learning tool which allows the book to be used for a wide range economics courses with different emphasis; monetarist, Keynesian, long-run early or late, etc.
