Description
Alongside the standard treatment of market issues Cullis and Jones present material relating to the household, the public sector, and international trade. In addition, readers are encouraged to look at the wider debates into which the basic topics fit and to make their own assessment of these debates. The combination of basic explanation with stimulating further avenues for debate make this new text useful as a way of encouraging students to apply the microeconomic analysis they have learnt to problems outside those specifically discussed in the text.
