Zusatztext It offers the student-reader an unusually 'clean' and 'pure' treatment of the relevant theoretical constructs and concepts in economics. Informationen zum Autor Amos Witztum is Senior Lecturer in Economics at London Metropolitan University. He is also currently Senior Academic Advisor on LSE's project creating a new International College for Economics and Finance in Moscow, Visiting Professor at Solvay Business School of Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Chief Examiner at the University of London External Programme and a regular visitor to the Singapore Institute of Management. Klappentext Witztum's text is a robust and challenging introduction to the key principles of economics. It delivers a comprehensive and focused view of the logical core of economic analysis. Presented in a clear and accessible form, the content is nonetheless sufficiently developed to take students beyond mere fundamentals, teaching them to apply economic theories and models to recognisable, real life examples. The book is therefore able to prepare students for further study of economics rather than to simply acquaint them with basic concepts.
