Books in the Economics Today series

The issues of growth performance and structural change are critical to an appreciation of British economic development. It also incorporates a discussion of the controversial political issues in this sphere: disindustrialisation, North Sea oil and the environmental cost of economic growth.

The Challenge of British Management confronts three big questions: What is Management all about?, What is British Management, in particular, like?, How good is it? An understanding of British Management requires a knowledge of Management in general and familiarity with the experience and best practice of other countries.

The Economic Question is the core book of the Economics Today series. The book provides a beginner's guide to the subject matter and methods of economics and is suitable for those considering or just starting its study, concentrating on approach rather than technical content in order to introduce the reader to the nature of economics.

Investigating Social Issues uses economic theory to analyse real events and problems and to evaluate different solutions. Newspaper cuttings have been used as an integral part of the text to highlight the causes, effects and solutions to these issues and problems.

The book applies economic theory in a clear, direct manner to major areas of interest such as foreign exchange markets, agriculture, trade, money and the ERM.

Economic development continues to be an area of interest to students on a variety of courses. The second edition of this book provides a lively and interesting introduction to the subject covering all of the major issues, including Third World debt, income distribution and environmental problems.
