Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is a guide to applied macroeconomics for first-year business students. The text is less theoretical than those aimed at macroeconomic subject specialists, but remains comprehensive, demonstrating through real-world examples the advantages to be gained from looking at the world through empirical data. The book sets out to provide a framework through which economic events can be analyzed and, although written in a UK context, the text also provides a European, and where appropriate, global focus.
Includes index.
