Economics 2e Authors: E Blecher, S Muradzikwa, L Smith, K Thomas and P de Villiers
It is diffi cult to make sense of what is happening in the world today without an understanding of economic principles. Economics 2e is a comprehensive fi rst-year textbook developed by South African authors to introduce students to both macroeconomics and microeconomics. It explores the foundational concepts in accessible language and makes economics interesting and relevant by linking these concepts to everyday life. The authors have chosen to place vital economic debates squarely within the socio-political environment, and to discuss the impact of the previous political dispensation on South Africa’s current economic development.
The book features: • a language level that is designed for students who are being exposed to economic concepts for the fi rst time, ensuring that these concepts are explained in an accessible way
• many practical examples based on real-life South African situations and events which will help students to understand diffi cult concepts
