Essential Economics

The book starts with an essay that examines the nature of
economics and the challenges it must rise to if it is to be relevant
in a fast-changing world. Following this is an A–Z of jargon,
terms and concepts. In this section words in small capitals
usually indicate a cross-reference to a separate entry, although
readers should note that abbreviations that may not have a separate
entry are also in small capitals. As is inevitable with a
book of this nature, the entries draw heavily, and with gratitude,
on the work of others. This includes many articles published
in The Economist and previous Economist guides to
economics.
