The UK Economy
This is a comprehensive introduction to Economics suitable for university first year students or anyone without formal training in the subject. Mr. Sawyer/R.L. Harrington covers almost every aspect of the UK economy, highlighting how Economics could be applied to the current UK economic scenarios in this newest 15th edition. Diagrams and charts used are also easy to understand and illustrative. The book is relatively short and is an easy read. I will definately recommend this book to all Economics students whether at university or at college.
