A Guide to Modern Economics

This work provides a review of the most important developments in economic theory and application between 1985 and 1995. It includes a discussion of new terms in economic theory, such as growth theory, game theory, uncertainty, the environment, experimental economics and macroeconomics. Also covered are advances in applied economics and the importance of new technology in this respect. The author seeks to provide a balanced discussion of new issues and techniques alongside more longstanding concerns, in an accessible style, suitable for the specialist and non-specialist alike.
