Abstract:
Economics is a huge subject, and this book is the perfect place to start. Designed specially for undergraduates, it includes features such as questions that may come up in exams, quotes from leading theorists that you can use in your essays, and case studies providing real-life examples. The book is written by Dr Thomas Coskeran, a lecturer at Durham University School of Business, who has been an advisor to both HM Treasury and the NHS. This really is the only book you need to start getting great results in economics.
