Welcome to the Online Learning Centre for Foundations of Economics, 4th edition

Foundations of Economics, fourth edition is ideal for students taking introductory economics modules as part of an interdisciplinary course. Building on the success of the previous edition, the book provides accessible overviews of key economic topics, interweaving these with real-world examples and practical activities to equip students to think for themselves.

Features of this edition include:

• Topical and up-to-date material, presented alongside real-world examples and policy problems


• Additional mini case studies on areas such as banking, the housing market, sport and the music industry, to demonstrate the practical application of economics in contemporary situations


• Increased microeconomic coverage; including a restructure of the material on demand, supply, elasticity and market structures


• Increased coverage of the global economy

Succinctly offering the proven quality, consistency and clarity of the parent text Economics (`The Student Bible’, BBC Radio 4), Foundations of Economics, fourth edition is the essential text for today’s non-specialist economics student.
