Economics
- Share to:
The aim of this book is to explain economics and its most important
ideas, and to demystify the most important pieces of
economic jargon. It is intended to be practical, rather than
provide a comprehensive tour of economic theory. It focuses on
the economics that affects jobs and prices and trade, that raises
voices in boardrooms and bars and among politicians and
pundits, in short, the economics that touches and shapes everyday
life.
The book starts with an essay that examines the nature of
economics and the challenges it must rise to if it is to be relevant
in a fast-changing world. Following this is an A–Z of jargon,
terms and concepts. In this section words in small capitals
usually indicate a cross-reference to a separate entry, although
readers should note that abbreviations that may not have a separate
entry are also in small capitals. As is inevitable with a
book of this nature, the entries draw heavily, and with gratitude,
on the work of others. This includes many articles published
in The Economist and previous Economist guides to
economics.
