Useful foundations need to be reliably up to the job, help you understand the rest of your
life, and be fun enough to make you want to bother.
Foundations of Economics is specially designed for students studying introductory economics in a single term or semester. The book streamlines the argument that make its parent text Economics 8e the ‘student’s bible’ for economics (BBC Radio 4).
Foundations of Economics covers only the core topics but trains students to think for
themselves, using a wide range of data and examples, and offers authoritative commentary
on topical issues.
