This introduction to economics is user-friendly and interactive and not only provides a wealth of information about current issues and debates in the South African economy, but through the use of extensive activities, exercises (and answers provided) empowers learners to develop their own understanding of economics and how it relates to national development. Used as a foundation, this book will provide the knowledge base and skills for a more in-depth study of economics at a tertiary level. Using accessible language and South-African examples and case studies, the guide covers the range of basic economic topics, including key economic policy debates. By focusing on developing critical thinking skills and including academic development and learner activities, it demystifies economics.
