The companion to the author's "Economics", this book is designed to enable students to apply the standard theory of tackling economic problems, make an analysis of key data, and explore case histories. Each chapter corresponds to a chapter in the main text. The chapters are divided into five sections: a review of key theoretic material plus a set of shorter or multiple-choice questions; problems and data response; discussion topics and essay questions; eadings and case studies; and answers to questions.
