The most informative dictionary of economics available, the Routledge Dictionary of Economics avoids the tendency to indulge in long-winded definitions of the major concepts and provides students with a lucid, comprehensive and accurate guide to the discipline. Employing the key feature of further reading with many of the terms, the book uses the subject classification system defined by the American Economic Review and The Economic Journal. There have been sweeping developments in economics in the decade since the appearance of the first edition and the new version reflects this by including a wealth of material on additional topics, including: economic anthropology Blairism endogenous growth French Circuit School output floor regulation predator-prey model. The dictionary has been compiled for the needs of students and teachers of economics, finance accountancy and business studies and should prove to be an invaluable resource.
