Abstract
:
"This book explains the key economic concepts and issues and the linkages between them in a straightforward, practical and non-technical way. A question-and-answer format is used and all the everyday questions people ask about the economy are answered. In the process, a variety of economic concepts are defined and explained, making the book particularly useful as a quick reference (e.g. to settle arguments)."--Page 4 of cover.
