A Beginner's Guide to the World Economy: Eighty-One Basic Economic Concepts That Will Change the Way You See the World Paperback - 2001
by Randy Charles Epping
People in Seattle are tear-gassed and thrown in jail for protesting the World Trade Organization. In France, a woman is killed when "antiglobalization" terrorists blow up a McDonald's. Now more than ever economic literacy is essential for anyone who simply wants to follow the nightly news and better understand the world around them. Fascinating, enlightening, and entertaining, "A Beginner's Guide to the World Economy" gives up-to-the-minute information on everything needed to understand the economic world.
From the rear cover
In the past decade of rapid change in the world economy, Randy Charles Epping's Beginner's Guide to the World Economy" has been the most reliable tool for keeping track of what's happening. The third edition updates the information in previous editions and explains many new concepts.
What is the new economy? What is globalization? Is the euro the final seal on European Union? How is e-commerce transforming our world beyond economics? What is virtual money, and does it have real value? How do social concerns and societal ills (drugs, poverty, AIDS, endangered natural resources) play a part in the rapidly changing world economy. What are multinationals, and do they signal the end of nationalism? These and many other pertinent issues are concisely addressed in the most accessible primer for those who want to be economically literate (and who doesn't?).
