Full description for Essential Economics

• A writer for The Economist for some 20 years and its current New York bureau chief, Bishop offers a resource text for specialists in politics and public service, in business and the professions, as well as general readers, explaining economics and its most important ideas, and demystifying the most significant economic terms and concepts. The practical text focuses more on the economics of everyday life--those affecting jobs, prices, and trade--than on economic theory. The text begins with a brief essay on the nature of economics and how economics is now at a crossroads due to the global financial crisis, followed by the A-Z, cross-referenced entries covering everything from absolute advantage to zero-sum game. Revisions from the 2004 first edition to the second edition are not stated. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
