Magnificent job from Mulhearn and Vane on this textbook which truly stands out from the crowd. It is an excellent example of how contemporary real-world economics can be traced back to the fundamental principles of economics. Easy to read, comprehensive and packed with questions that provoke critical thinking, this is a must have textbook. * Panos Fouskas, University of Birmingham, UK *
With a clear and engaging style and steady stream of examples and case studies, this book does an excellent job of connecting the central concepts in economics to day-to-day business operations. I highly recommend it to students and professionals who are seeking new approaches in addition to ‘classical’ thinking and explanation. * Joost van Hilst, Avans University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands *
Economics for Business strikes a wonderful balance between clear economic analysis and engaging material throughout, bringing the subject to life better than any economics textbook I have encountered. New features in this edition explain key economic concepts, theories and ideas in understandable and interesting ways, linking these with familiar everyday issues. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand the economic world in which we live. * Christopher Dent, Edge Hill University, UK *
This book is easy to read and understand, and its chapter structure enables tutors and students to customize teaching and learning to their needs. This is rare in other textbooks. It is also full of useful practical examples and case studies illustrating the application of economics to business. * Essa Bah, University of Birmingham Dubai, UAE *
