This ground breaking new text is written for a one-semester, introductory economics subject that introduces students to the key concepts of both microeconomics and macroeconomics. Economics for Today will enable all business students, whatever their major, to see the relevance of economics to their life and future career. It does this by making extensive use of many relevant examples from recent, real-world events around the world. Students from Australia, New Zealand and South-East Asia will gain an understanding of the practical relevance of economics in their own region.
