This dedicated South African edition of Prof. N. Gregory Mankiw and Prof. Mark P. Taylor’s Economics combines up-to-date South African content and examples with a robust conceptual understanding of the subject using contemporary approaches to theory.

The edition retains the features which have made the title so popular with students and instructors, including:

The classic ten principles approach to economics – introduced in Chapter One and then referred to throughout the book designed to help build a framework for understanding.

A rigorous emphasis throughout on ‘thinking like an economist’ – adopting the tools, methods and concepts economists use in addressing problems and issues.

The main body of the text has been expertly tailored to South African students, encouraging them to apply the information and data supplied to their own environment and experiences.
