Overview

Begg, Fischer and Dornbusch,Economics, is the definitive economics textbook.  The new edition of the best selling “student bible” (BBC Radio 4) brings economics right up-to-date with a comprehensive and exciting new revision. 

The new seventh edition aims to teach students how economics really works in the world today. Maintaining its popular clear and unpretentious style, the new edition engages with the latest theoretical developments in economics.   Its fresh new approach to modern macroeconomics reflects the latest shifts in monetary and fiscal policy in the UK, Europe and beyond.

In response to changes in real-world monetary policy, the macroeconomics coverage of the new edition moves from a traditional nominal money supply target model to the use of flexible inflation targets. Economics is the first European text to take this fresh new approach, which more accurately reflects current monetary policy, in the UK and beyond.

The microeconomics coverage has been comprehensively revised, restructured and updated, including new boxes, data, tables and figures. The introductory section has been streamlined to focus on key topics from the outset, giving students clear direction on what is to follow. The seventh edition also includes new and expanded coverage of game theory
