Product Description

Review
The new edition clearly combines the twin virtues of accumulated learning-by-doing with up-to-dateness. The book is in serious colour, with many diagrams and figures. It backs up the basic expositional highway with interesting stop-offs and scenic diversions.

A lot of work has gone into this book and it shows. Its coverage is comprehensive; almost any first year course could be accommodated using this text.

 

(Professor Huw Dixon, Professor of Economics at University of York)



Product Description

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. This fifth edition brings the subject powerfully to life in the 21st century and accurately reflects and encompasses the constantly shifting economic world around us.

Building on the high standards set by previous editions, this fifth European edition has been carefully revised and continues to place great emphasis on helping the student understand the core concepts of economics and think like an economist, as well as apply the fundamental principles of the discipline in a business context. Recognizing that students often find economics difficult, the authors write for the student, putting economics into practice, illuminating theory with real-world problems and issues and making the subject accessible, relevant and exciting.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book covering some complex subjects simply, 8 Oct 2001
By A Customer
A brilliant book that covers all aspects of economics in a easy to understand, logical way. The book uses diagrams and chapter reviews effectively to drive home the main points and has everday examples to illustrate dificult concepts. A must for any finance/economic students out there - whether they have studied the subject before or not

4.0 out of 5 stars A well written easy to follow text that I recommed, 22 April 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Economics (Paperback)
In short, Economics can get extremely confusing and complicated, and it is important to develop a strong understanding of the basic principles and build on that. Having used several books during my studies I found that Parkin, Powell & Matthews were able to break the harder subjects down and introduce them in a logical manner making it easier to absorb the information. This book will give you a solid understanding of the basic principles and help you build on them. If you're studying economics this text should definitely be on your shelf.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buy the one by Lieberman, 17 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book, which I used in my Economics course at NYU was sad, at best. I recommend you purchase a book by Lieberman.
