AQA Advanced Economics

Ray Powell - Chief Examiner, Head of Economics at King’s College School, Wimbledon

This major new textbook has been written specifically to meet the needs of AS and A2 students following the AQA specification.

AQA Advanced Economics is carefully structured, with a specification focus at the beginning of each chapter that matches its content to AS and A2 modules. Terms, concepts and themes are clearly explained throughout and supported by the examiner's voice, identifying key points and offering exam guidance. Each chapter concludes with a summary and a set of self-testing questions that can be used to assess understanding and for revision.

This comprehensive text provides a thorough foundation for the course, and the accessible commentary, interspersed with regular exam guidance, is essential reading for AQA Economics students.

Description

Economics is the UK and European adaptation of Greg Mankiw’s classic textbook, expertly adapted by Mark Taylor so as to be even more relevant to a UK and European audience. A major strength of the original - that the authors present economics from the viewpoint of a reader completely new to the subject – has been maintained. Research shows that the book appeals particularly well to the more applied, business-oriented courses. The conversational yet precise writing style is superb for presenting the politics and science of economic theories to tomorrow's decision-makers. The book stands out amongst all other principles texts by encouraging students to apply an economic way of thinking in their daily lives.
