ECONOMICS MADE EASY AND STIMULATING new & expanded edition: Quick Revision Notes & Articles To Stimulate Economic Reasoning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481984201)

A TIME-SAVING, EASY AND INTERESTING WAY TO MASTER ECONOMICS IS HERE IN THIS BOOK!To many GCE "A" Level students, a number of concepts in economics are abstruse and daunting, even dry and boring.This book addresses this problem by bringing such concepts down to a "bitable, digestible and interesting" level. GCE "A" Level students and students preparing for other economics exams such as the BBA, RSA, LCCI, GRE, and even the GCE "O" Level, exams should find this book useful, interesting and reader-friendly, especially for quick revision. The book covers more than the GCE "A" Level Economics syllabus.It is not necessary to have a basic foundation in economics to pick up economics with all its abstruseness and complexities, as this book explains the ideas of economics in as simple and accessible a fashion as possible, whereby even lay people, e.g., general readers without any knowledge of economics at all, would benefit.There is a slew of very important economic knowledge and insights in the Quick Revision Notes, Articles To Stimulate Economic Reasoning and Appendix.There is also a number of useful business ideas, e.g., marketing concepts, entrepreneurship, finance and banking, etc., which should be of interest to both economics students (who are budding or potential business practitioners) and business practitioners alike. The ideas in this book are expected to stimulate, provoke, thought, interest, even controversy and debate, as economics is not an exact science - this should make economics meaningful and "come alive" (and not just another boring subject for passing exams).The author is optimistic, and, hopeful, that the implementation of these ideas would solve or, at least, alleviate our economic and social problems and greatly benefit our society.This book is also aimed at making economics not only easy and accessible, but, interesting, challenging and meaningful for everyone interested in or concerned about the economic well-being of our society, student sitting for economics exams or not!Economics is indeed important and should not be studied just for the sake of passing exams but for understanding and solving our economic and (related) societal problems as well, problems such as recession, unemployment, poverty, etc., which affect all of us one way or another whether we like it or not!THIS BOOK SERIOUSLY ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE AND, HENCE, THE IMPORTANCE, CHALLENGE AND MEANINGFULNESS OF THIS BOOK! THE BOOK, WHICH HAS NOW BEEN EXPANDED, HAS BEEN ADOPTED AS A REFERENCE TEXT BY THE INSTITUTIONS WHERE THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN TEACHING. FOR THIS NEW AND EXPANDED EDITION, THREE STIMULATING, IMPORTANT ARTICLES, "THE EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY ON THE ECONOMY", "THE ROLE OF GREED IN THE ECONOMY" AND "WHY ECONOMICS DOES NOT SOLVE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS AND WHAT TO DO", ARE ADDED.
