Economy, Society, and Public Policy

Economy, Society, and Public Policy is a new way to learn economics. The only resource to show students from any programme of study how to use economics to understand and articulate reasoned views on some of the most pressing policy problems facing our societies: inequality, financial instability, the future of work, environmental degradation, wealth creation, and innovation.
