This book was designed to offer a very different approach to business economics from that presented in existing texts. This is because the authors, the publisher and many lecturer believe that you will be better served by a complete rethink of what a business economics text covers and how the ideas in it are presented. As a result this book offers a pluralistic approach to economics.
