FOUNDATIONS OF ECONOMICS

This abridged version of Begg, Fischer and Dornbusch's Economics develops those qualities which have made Begg so popular through the years, maintaining the academic quality, clarity and rigor of the parent text in a shorter and more concise textbook.

The text is accompanied by a free student CD-ROM featuring a variety of learning resources, and both students and lecturers will find further case material, study questions, teaching and revision notes and a wealth of other resources at the Online Learning Centre at www.beggecon.com.
