Description
The sixth edition of this benchmark Australian text continues to offer students a comprehensive and relevant introduction to economics whilst now offering you, as the instructor, the ability to customise and deliver the content the way you wish to teach it! Through extensive revision, the book gives students an even more streamlined approach to study and recognises the difficulties some may face in comprehending key concepts. The new edition leaves the more technical content and applications until later, allowing students to enjoy the more exciting policy material from the beginning and to engage with the content early. Through compelling examples, clear explanations and the latest instructive on-line resources, the text draws students into the content and reinforces learning through practice and solving problems which are relevant to them. The authors train students to think about issues in the way real economists do, and learn how to explore difficult policy problems and make more informed decisions by offering a clear introduction to theory and applying the concepts to today's events, news, and research.
