Description

Based on the Open University's "Introduction to Economics" course, this work is intended for first or second year macro-economics courses. It addresses fundamental questions which are crucial to the UK's economic future and is distinctive for its orientation to problems of actual policy debate and development. The authors elucidate the current economic situation in the light of both theoretical and historical developments, and adopt a new approach to today's Keynesian/monetarism debate. Each chapter develops the concepts necessary for an understanding of the differing approaches to key contemporary economic issues, thus widening the student's grasp of policy making.
