Proven popular with students, the author's excellent writing style ensures economic theories are clearly explained, whilst the copious use of literature and articles from the financial press give students a real-life framework to the theory. Assuming a basic grounding in economics principles, this book will be suitable for a range of one and two semester courses in: banking, financial economics, financial services, finance, and money, banking and finance.
