Economics touches almost every aspect of life, from climate change to terrorism, taxes to house prices, wages, to how much time to spend studying. Learning to think like an economist will enable students to evaluate economic policies, understand human behaviour, and make more informed decisions.

This comprehensive text provides detailed presentation of the principles of economics, using real-world examples and applications. The aftermath of the global financial crisis is covered in depth, and its implications for future economic policy are thoroughly examined. With a wealth of in-text problems and applications, this text is also supported by MyEconLab.
