Omschrijving
All too often, the economics that people hear discussed consists of jargon and acronyms that seem remote from the practicalities of life. Steve Coulter provides a straightforward yet sophisticated guide to the elements of economics that most matter to everyone: housing, the job market, personal finances, shopping. Everyday Economics captures the complexity of the modern global economy while making it intelligible.
Everyday Economics succeeds in introducing readers to economics through a number of important, topical and accessible case studies. Its strength is not only the amount of relevant concepts it includes, but the way in which they are handled, which is completely different to textbooks, being far more discursive and accessible. It was a real pleasure to read. It is certainly relevant to, and suitable for, students of A level and Pre-U economics, with some chapters directly addressing specific elements of these syllabuses, and with others being highly valuable background reading. I will certainly be recommending the book to my students.
A great read. … a non-partisan look at the economics profession. … it is in the area of policy development whereby better understanding individual behaviour and learning from other disciplines [that] the use of economics can best help distinguish between good and bad policy measures.
Steve Coulter is Head of Industrial Strategy and Skills at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, and Visiting Senior Fellow at the European Institute of the London School of Economics.
