Description and Table of Contents
Description
The third edition of this highly successful textbook includes new chapters on the economics of the environment, transport and social care, as well as updated treatments of education, health care, housing and the distribution of income and wealth. As well as addressing recent issues and concerns the text retains the essential features that have made it popular with students and teachers: a clear exposition of key economic concepts, a well-defined structure and an unrivalled analysis of the economic mechanisms for allocating scarce resources in each problem area. '...there has hitherto been a large gap in this area and it is a great pleasure to see how well Le Grand and Robinson have filled it.' - Economica
